00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:24.339

00:00:24.339 --> 00:00:26.920

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:33.320
Well,<00:00:31.039><c> I've</c><00:00:31.260><c> been</c><00:00:31.440><c> reflecting</c><00:00:31.760><c> upon</c><00:00:32.119><c> this</c><00:00:32.420><c> study</c><00:00:32.700><c> over</c><00:00:33.119><c> the</c>

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:34.060
course<00:00:33.520><c> of</c><00:00:33.700><c> the</c><00:00:33.820><c> week,</c>

00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:36.679
brothers<00:00:34.479><c> and</c><00:00:34.700><c> sisters,</c><00:00:35.140><c> and</c><00:00:35.439><c> it</c><00:00:35.659><c> seems</c><00:00:35.840><c> to</c><00:00:36.000><c> me</c><00:00:36.119><c> like</c><00:00:36.359><c> it's</c><00:00:36.600><c> a</c>

00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:38.140
series<00:00:36.939><c> of</c><00:00:37.240><c> waves.</c>

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.920
Our<00:00:39.079><c> first</c><00:00:39.320><c> study</c><00:00:39.600><c> was</c><00:00:40.060><c> fairly</c><00:00:40.460><c> straightforward.</c><00:00:42.320><c> The</c><00:00:42.539><c> second</c><00:00:42.740><c> was</c>

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:44.399
much<00:00:43.179><c> more</c><00:00:43.439><c> demanding.</c>

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:48.500
We<00:00:45.280><c> needed</c><00:00:45.539><c> to</c><00:00:45.820><c> sort</c><00:00:45.960><c> of</c><00:00:46.640><c> raise</c><00:00:46.960><c> the</c><00:00:47.200><c> bar</c><00:00:47.520><c> somewhat.</c>

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.979
But<00:00:49.100><c> then</c><00:00:49.240><c> our</c><00:00:49.439><c> next</c><00:00:49.700><c> study</c><00:00:49.899><c> after</c><00:00:50.140><c> that</c><00:00:50.439><c> was</c><00:00:51.100><c> back</c><00:00:51.340><c> down</c><00:00:51.659><c> to</c><00:00:52.020><c> perhaps</c><00:00:52.679><c> a</c>

00:00:52.979 --> 00:00:55.060
slightly<00:00:53.340><c> easier</c><00:00:53.880><c> level,</c>

00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:58.219
followed<00:00:55.740><c> by</c><00:00:55.979><c> another</c><00:00:56.240><c> one,</c><00:00:56.799><c> slightly</c><00:00:57.020><c> more</c><00:00:57.280><c> demanding.</c>

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.640
Well,<00:00:59.039><c> we're</c><00:00:59.100><c> back</c><00:00:59.259><c> in</c><00:00:59.399><c> the</c><00:00:59.539><c> flat</c><00:00:59.700><c> spot</c><00:00:59.920><c> again,</c><00:01:01.179><c> because</c><00:01:01.380><c> this</c>

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.040
morning's<00:01:02.140><c> study</c><00:01:02.259><c> is</c><00:01:02.500><c> going</c><00:01:02.619><c> to</c><00:01:02.820><c> be</c><00:01:03.140><c> fairly</c><00:01:03.460><c> straightforward,</c>

00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.680
but<00:01:04.359><c> not</c><00:01:04.840><c> any</c><00:01:05.079><c> less</c><00:01:05.340><c> important</c><00:01:06.040><c> for</c><00:01:06.599><c> that</c><00:01:06.900><c> fact.</c>

00:01:07.980 --> 00:01:12.480
Because<00:01:08.260><c> these</c><00:01:08.620><c> are</c><00:01:08.840><c> the</c><00:01:09.180><c> last</c><00:01:09.519><c> words</c><00:01:09.939><c> of</c><00:01:10.280><c> David</c><00:01:10.680><c> that</c><00:01:10.980><c> we</c><00:01:11.159><c> wish</c><00:01:11.319><c> to</c><00:01:11.640><c> consider.</c>

00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:15.299
I<00:01:12.719><c> want</c><00:01:12.879><c> you</c><00:01:13.019><c> to</c><00:01:13.140><c> come</c><00:01:13.260><c> with</c><00:01:13.400><c> me,</c><00:01:13.620><c> if</c><00:01:13.739><c> you</c><00:01:13.959><c> would,</c><00:01:14.340><c> to</c><00:01:14.579><c> 2</c><00:01:14.840><c> Samuel</c>

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:25.680
You<00:01:18.239><c> know,</c><00:01:19.640><c> age</c><00:01:20.079><c> tends</c><00:01:20.480><c> to</c><00:01:20.819><c> refine</c><00:01:21.280><c> and</c><00:01:22.180><c> focus</c><00:01:23.140><c> one's</c><00:01:24.060><c> interests</c><00:01:24.420><c> in</c><00:01:24.700><c> life.</c>

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:35.340
Approaching<00:01:27.480><c> death</c><00:01:28.040><c> does</c><00:01:29.519><c> tend</c><00:01:29.819><c> to</c><00:01:30.120><c> distill</c><00:01:30.540><c> the</c><00:01:32.140><c> real</c><00:01:32.359><c> issues</c><00:01:32.659><c> of</c><00:01:32.980><c> importance</c><00:01:33.420><c> in</c><00:01:34.439><c> life.</c>

00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.680
And<00:01:35.840><c> that's</c><00:01:36.000><c> where</c><00:01:36.239><c> David</c><00:01:36.439><c> was</c><00:01:36.780><c> in</c><00:01:36.980><c> the</c><00:01:37.120><c> scheme</c><00:01:37.340><c> of</c><00:01:37.519><c> things,</c>

00:01:37.859 --> 00:01:39.200
brothers<00:01:37.959><c> and</c><00:01:38.219><c> sisters.</c>

00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:43.180
Many<00:01:39.780><c> of</c><00:01:39.959><c> you</c><00:01:39.959><c> might</c><00:01:40.159><c> recall</c><00:01:40.519><c> a</c><00:01:40.700><c> man</c><00:01:40.900><c> called</c><00:01:41.260><c> Aristotle</c><00:01:41.920><c> Anasus.</c>

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.500
He<00:01:44.260><c> was</c><00:01:44.500><c> a</c><00:01:44.659><c> Greek</c><00:01:44.959><c> shipping</c><00:01:45.340><c> magnate</c><00:01:45.780><c> in</c><00:01:45.939><c> the</c><00:01:46.060><c> 1960s</c><00:01:46.879><c> and</c><00:01:47.000><c> 70s,</c>

00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:50.260
the<00:01:49.040><c> richest</c><00:01:49.299><c> man</c><00:01:49.540><c> in</c><00:01:49.680><c> the</c><00:01:49.819><c> world.</c>

00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:57.140
He<00:01:51.099><c> distinguished</c><00:01:51.340><c> himself</c><00:01:51.939><c> by</c><00:01:52.280><c> marrying</c><00:01:52.739><c> the</c><00:01:53.040><c> widow</c><00:01:53.439><c> of</c><00:01:54.180><c> John</c><00:01:54.459><c> Kennedy,</c><00:01:55.219><c> assassinated</c><00:01:55.540><c> in</c><00:01:55.799><c> 1963.</c>

00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.840
She<00:01:57.700><c> became</c><00:01:58.180><c> Jackie</c><00:01:58.939><c> Anasus.</c>

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.879
He,<00:02:01.980><c> of</c><00:02:02.120><c> course,</c><00:02:02.780><c> had</c><00:02:02.980><c> money</c><00:02:03.299><c> to</c><00:02:03.560><c> burn,</c><00:02:04.599><c> but</c><00:02:04.739><c> he</c><00:02:04.859><c> was</c><00:02:05.040><c> dying.</c>

00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:12.340
He<00:02:07.200><c> spent</c><00:02:07.599><c> squillions</c><00:02:08.319><c> on</c><00:02:09.280><c> doctors</c><00:02:09.879><c> trying</c><00:02:10.719><c> to</c><00:02:10.939><c> preserve</c><00:02:11.259><c> life.</c>

00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.560
And<00:02:13.159><c> when</c><00:02:13.280><c> he</c><00:02:13.379><c> finally</c><00:02:13.740><c> died,</c><00:02:14.379><c> he</c><00:02:14.520><c> ordered</c><00:02:14.699><c> that</c><00:02:14.900><c> his</c><00:02:15.060><c> body</c><00:02:15.280><c> be</c>

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.740
instantly<00:02:16.340><c> frozen,</c>

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:22.039
in<00:02:18.639><c> the</c><00:02:18.800><c> hope</c><00:02:18.960><c> that</c><00:02:19.199><c> mankind</c><00:02:19.780><c> might</c><00:02:20.139><c> one</c><00:02:20.400><c> day</c><00:02:20.680><c> invent</c><00:02:21.020><c> some</c><00:02:21.379><c> way</c><00:02:21.819><c> of</c>

00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.620
reviving<00:02:22.439><c> people</c><00:02:22.759><c> that</c><00:02:22.900><c> were</c><00:02:23.060><c> dead,</c>

00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:27.000
who<00:02:24.000><c> had</c><00:02:24.099><c> been</c><00:02:24.300><c> preserved</c><00:02:24.719><c> on</c><00:02:24.960><c> ice,</c><00:02:26.199><c> that</c><00:02:26.400><c> he</c><00:02:26.539><c> could</c><00:02:26.659><c> go</c><00:02:26.860><c> on</c>

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.159
living<00:02:27.159><c> forever.</c>

00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.840
That's<00:02:30.080><c> how</c><00:02:30.300><c> the</c><00:02:30.500><c> world</c><00:02:30.719><c> does</c><00:02:31.039><c> things,</c><00:02:31.419><c> brothers</c><00:02:31.539><c> and</c><00:02:31.780><c> sisters.</c>

00:02:33.219 --> 00:02:36.740
David<00:02:33.419><c> didn't</c><00:02:33.800><c> care</c><00:02:34.340><c> whether</c><00:02:34.759><c> he</c><00:02:35.060><c> died</c><00:02:35.300><c> on</c><00:02:35.580><c> the</c><00:02:35.740><c> day</c><00:02:36.280><c> that</c><00:02:36.639><c> he</c>

gave<00:02:37.159><c> his</c><00:02:37.599><c> last</c><00:02:38.159><c> words.</c>

00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:40.680
He<00:02:39.180><c> didn't</c><00:02:39.400><c> care.</c>

00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:43.740
Because<00:02:41.199><c> God</c><00:02:41.439><c> had</c><00:02:41.639><c> made</c><00:02:41.800><c> to</c><00:02:42.020><c> him</c><00:02:42.180><c> a</c><00:02:42.419><c> covenant</c><00:02:42.659><c> that</c><00:02:42.780><c> was</c><00:02:43.080><c> ordered</c><00:02:43.400><c> in</c>

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:51.199
That's<00:02:49.219><c> all</c><00:02:49.379><c> that</c><00:02:49.520><c> mattered</c><00:02:49.659><c> to</c><00:02:49.900><c> him.</c>

00:02:51.300 --> 00:03:00.919

00:05:44.579 --> 00:05:47.740
And<00:05:44.819><c> they</c><00:05:44.939><c> will</c><00:05:45.060><c> go</c><00:05:45.319><c> forth</c><00:05:45.579><c> to</c><00:05:45.819><c> accomplish</c><00:05:46.139><c> the</c><00:05:46.379><c> things</c><00:05:46.519><c> of</c><00:05:46.680><c> which</c><00:05:46.839><c> David's</c><00:05:47.180><c> now</c><00:05:47.379><c> going</c><00:05:47.500><c> to</c>

00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:50.939
That's<00:05:50.019><c> why</c><00:05:50.139><c> it's</c><00:05:50.259><c> there,</c><00:05:50.459><c> I</c><00:05:50.699><c> believe.</c>

00:05:50.939 --> 00:05:54.240
But<00:05:51.100><c> there's</c><00:05:51.240><c> something</c><00:05:51.459><c> else</c><00:05:52.459><c> that</c><00:05:53.540><c> we</c><00:05:53.699><c> should</c><00:05:53.920><c> note.</c>

00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:55.259
It<00:05:54.519><c> is</c><00:05:54.660><c> this</c><00:05:54.939><c> fact.</c>

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.680

00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:01.339

00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.579
So<00:06:06.699><c> you</c><00:06:07.060><c> see,</c><00:06:07.279><c> he</c><00:06:07.500><c> really</c><00:06:07.860><c> is</c><00:06:08.120><c> the</c><00:06:08.300><c> first</c><00:06:08.620><c> one</c><00:06:08.959><c> in</c><00:06:09.240><c> the</c><00:06:09.379><c> list.</c>

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.959

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.040
These<00:06:13.839><c> be</c><00:06:14.120><c> the</c><00:06:14.300><c> names</c><00:06:14.579><c> of</c><00:06:14.800><c> the</c><00:06:14.959><c> mighty</c><00:06:15.199><c> men</c><00:06:15.519><c> whom</c><00:06:16.040><c> David</c><00:06:16.800><c> had.</c>

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.120
So<00:06:17.939><c> if</c><00:06:18.240><c> David</c><00:06:18.680><c> had</c><00:06:19.180><c> them,</c><00:06:19.420><c> who's</c><00:06:19.720><c> number</c><00:06:20.079><c> one?</c>

00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:27.800
David,<00:06:23.500><c> the</c><00:06:23.680><c> beloved,</c><00:06:24.959><c> the</c><00:06:25.259><c> type</c><00:06:25.560><c> of</c><00:06:25.879><c> the</c><00:06:26.000><c> Lord</c><00:06:26.220><c> Jesus</c><00:06:26.720><c> Christ.</c>

00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:32.459
He<00:06:28.180><c> saw</c><00:06:28.439><c> himself</c><00:06:28.860><c> as</c><00:06:29.139><c> a</c><00:06:29.360><c> type</c><00:06:29.800><c> of</c><00:06:30.519><c> the</c><00:06:30.660><c> Lord</c><00:06:30.819><c> Jesus</c><00:06:31.279><c> Christ.</c>

00:06:32.579 --> 00:06:37.339
And<00:06:32.740><c> that's</c><00:06:32.959><c> why</c><00:06:33.319><c> we've</c><00:06:33.860><c> got</c><00:06:34.399><c> 2</c><00:06:34.959><c> Samuel</c><00:06:35.319><c> 22</c><00:06:36.199><c> that</c><00:06:36.720><c> precedes</c>

00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.920
Because<00:06:39.279><c> you</c><00:06:39.420><c> see,</c><00:06:39.899><c> it's</c><00:06:40.040><c> all</c><00:06:40.399><c> about</c><00:06:40.860><c> the</c><00:06:41.300><c> establishment</c><00:06:41.699><c> of</c>

00:06:49.620 --> 00:06:51.160
actually<00:06:49.920><c> Psalm</c><00:06:50.160><c> 18.</c>

00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:55.199
It's<00:06:51.939><c> almost</c><00:06:52.160><c> identical.</c><00:06:52.779><c> It</c><00:06:52.819><c> is</c><00:06:52.980><c> in</c><00:06:53.079><c> fact</c><00:06:53.300><c> identical</c><00:06:53.759><c> to</c><00:06:54.000><c> Psalm</c><00:06:54.600><c> 18.</c>

00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.120
So<00:06:55.439><c> why</c><00:06:55.720><c> is</c><00:06:55.879><c> it</c><00:06:56.000><c> there</c><00:06:56.180><c> twice?</c>

00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:59.879
Why<00:06:57.360><c> is</c><00:06:57.540><c> it</c><00:06:57.720><c> placed</c><00:06:57.879><c> by</c><00:06:58.120><c> the</c><00:06:58.379><c> Spirit</c><00:06:58.620><c> just</c><00:06:58.980><c> prior</c><00:06:59.279><c> to</c><00:06:59.480><c> David's</c>

And<00:07:55.060><c> it's</c><00:07:55.240><c> again</c><00:07:55.500><c> in</c><00:07:55.699><c> verse</c><00:07:55.899><c> 48</c><00:07:56.339><c> for</c><00:07:56.519><c> those</c><00:07:56.800><c> of</c><00:07:56.899><c> you</c><00:07:57.019><c> who</c><00:07:57.019><c> are</c>

00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:58.899
particular<00:07:57.560><c> about</c><00:07:57.860><c> detail.</c>

00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:01.699
So<00:07:59.500><c> four</c><00:07:59.759><c> times</c><00:08:00.319><c> Ayle</c><00:08:00.740><c> occurs.</c>

00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:04.959
And<00:08:02.000><c> of</c><00:08:02.160><c> course</c><00:08:02.300><c> we</c><00:08:02.439><c> know</c><00:08:02.620><c> that</c><00:08:02.800><c> the</c><00:08:02.939><c> first</c><00:08:03.180><c> occurrence</c><00:08:03.600><c> of</c><00:08:03.879><c> Ayleon,</c>

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.399
Ayle,<00:08:05.800><c> Ayleon,</c><00:08:06.699><c> four</c><00:08:06.860><c> times</c><00:08:07.439><c> in</c><00:08:07.759><c> Genesis</c><00:08:08.040><c> 14.</c>

00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.639
So<00:08:08.579><c> we</c><00:08:08.680><c> know</c><00:08:08.879><c> that</c><00:08:09.040><c> the</c><00:08:09.220><c> roots</c><00:08:09.439><c> are</c><00:08:09.660><c> way</c><00:08:09.800><c> back</c><00:08:10.040><c> there</c><00:08:10.579><c> in</c><00:08:11.300><c> Genesis</c><00:08:11.779><c> chapter</c><00:08:12.240><c> 14.</c>

00:08:12.819 --> 00:08:15.220
So<00:08:12.959><c> what's</c><00:08:13.259><c> the</c><00:08:13.439><c> subject</c><00:08:13.800><c> matter</c><00:08:14.000><c> going</c><00:08:14.220><c> to</c><00:08:14.439><c> be?</c>

00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:19.600
Armageddon,<00:08:17.240><c> Melchizedek,</c><00:08:18.240><c> righteousness,</c><00:08:19.259><c> etc.</c>

00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:20.860
Read<00:08:19.939><c> it.</c>

00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.079
Full<00:08:21.199><c> of</c><00:08:21.300><c> it.</c>

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.839
As<00:08:22.579><c> you</c><00:08:22.720><c> would</c><00:08:22.860><c> expect.</c>

00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.360
Okay,<00:08:24.399><c> so</c><00:08:24.680><c> that's</c><00:08:24.899><c> where</c><00:08:25.100><c> the</c><00:08:25.259><c> roots</c><00:08:25.439><c> are.</c>

00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:31.579
But<00:08:26.579><c> the</c><00:08:26.740><c> roots</c><00:08:26.879><c> are</c><00:08:27.120><c> also</c><00:08:27.420><c> in</c><00:08:27.800><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:08:28.339><c> 32,</c><00:08:28.819><c> which</c><00:08:29.040><c> itself</c><00:08:29.699><c> is</c><00:08:30.120><c> built</c><00:08:30.500><c> on</c>

00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:32.899
Genesis<00:08:32.019><c> chapter</c><00:08:32.379><c> 14.</c>

00:08:32.899 --> 00:08:35.820
One<00:08:33.159><c> of</c><00:08:33.259><c> the</c><00:08:33.360><c> most</c><00:08:33.559><c> remarkable</c><00:08:34.120><c> chapters</c><00:08:34.539><c> in</c><00:08:34.759><c> our</c><00:08:34.960><c> Bible.</c>

00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:37.440
So<00:08:36.019><c> there's</c><00:08:36.159><c> something</c><00:08:36.399><c> else</c><00:08:36.639><c> here</c><00:08:36.840><c> in</c><00:08:37.019><c> David's</c><00:08:37.399><c> psalm.</c>

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.080
We<00:08:37.559><c> want</c><00:08:37.720><c> to</c><00:08:37.860><c> pick</c><00:08:37.980><c> up</c><00:08:38.080><c> just</c><00:08:38.320><c> one</c><00:08:38.679><c> thing</c><00:08:38.980><c> that's</c><00:08:39.340><c> very</c><00:08:39.580><c> important</c><00:08:40.240><c> for</c>

what<00:08:41.360><c> follows.</c>

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.519
And<00:08:42.340><c> that</c><00:08:42.440><c> is</c><00:08:42.580><c> this</c><00:08:42.980><c> theme</c><00:08:43.240><c> of</c><00:08:43.519><c> producing</c><00:08:43.899><c> children</c><00:08:44.539><c> from</c><00:08:45.100><c> Jew</c>

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:46.539
and<00:08:45.879><c> Gentile.</c>

00:08:46.940 --> 00:08:50.779
And<00:08:47.120><c> that</c><00:08:47.320><c> comes</c><00:08:47.639><c> through</c><00:08:48.139><c> in</c><00:08:48.440><c> the</c><00:08:48.759><c> Hebrew</c><00:08:49.120><c> word</c><00:08:49.740><c> Zur.</c>

00:08:51.299 --> 00:08:56.299
And<00:08:51.600><c> Zur</c><00:08:51.860><c> occurs</c><00:08:52.320><c> four</c><00:08:53.059><c> times</c><00:08:53.559><c> in</c><00:08:54.480><c> this</c><00:08:54.799><c> psalm</c><00:08:55.220><c> of</c><00:08:55.399><c> David.</c>

00:08:56.340 --> 00:09:00.220
Have<00:08:56.519><c> a</c><00:08:56.639><c> look</c><00:08:56.779><c> at</c><00:08:57.299><c> 2</c><00:08:57.539><c> Samuel</c><00:08:57.860><c> 22</c><00:08:58.460><c> in</c><00:08:58.679><c> verse</c><00:08:58.940><c> 2.</c>

00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:04.500
And<00:09:00.899><c> he</c><00:09:01.019><c> said,</c><00:09:01.799><c> Yahweh</c><00:09:02.019><c> is</c><00:09:02.320><c> my</c><00:09:02.639><c> rock,</c><00:09:03.440><c> my</c><00:09:03.820><c> Zur.</c>

00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.639

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.980
For<00:09:10.259><c> who</c><00:09:10.539><c> is</c><00:09:10.740><c> Ayle,</c><00:09:10.960><c> save</c><00:09:11.340><c> Yahweh,</c><00:09:11.860><c> and</c><00:09:12.019><c> who</c><00:09:12.220><c> is</c><00:09:12.860><c> a</c><00:09:13.120><c> rock,</c><00:09:13.720><c> a</c>

00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:20.480
And<00:09:17.240><c> the</c><00:09:17.799><c> last</c><00:09:18.139><c> two</c><00:09:18.379><c> occurrences,</c><00:09:18.960><c> verse</c><00:09:19.179><c> 47.</c>

00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:25.480
Yahweh<00:09:21.120><c> liveth,</c><00:09:21.720><c> and</c><00:09:21.899><c> blessed</c><00:09:22.139><c> be</c><00:09:22.460><c> my</c><00:09:22.860><c> Zur,</c><00:09:24.399><c> and</c><00:09:24.679><c> exalted</c><00:09:25.039><c> be</c>

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.220
So<00:09:29.159><c> why</c><00:09:29.460><c> is</c><00:09:29.740><c> this</c><00:09:30.059><c> word</c><00:09:30.440><c> Zur</c><00:09:30.779><c> used</c><00:09:31.240><c> over</c><00:09:31.580><c> and</c><00:09:31.679><c> over</c><00:09:31.899><c> again?</c>

00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:34.799
Clearly<00:09:32.700><c> drawn</c><00:09:33.019><c> from</c><00:09:33.259><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:09:33.779><c> 32.</c>

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.759
Well,<00:09:35.100><c> it's</c><00:09:35.259><c> all</c><00:09:35.519><c> about</c><00:09:35.840><c> this</c><00:09:36.120><c> matter</c><00:09:36.419><c> of</c><00:09:36.759><c> producing</c><00:09:37.259><c> children.</c>

00:09:37.899 --> 00:09:40.059
So<00:09:37.980><c> we've</c><00:09:38.480><c> got</c><00:09:38.539><c> to</c><00:09:38.620><c> go</c><00:09:38.740><c> back</c><00:09:38.919><c> and</c><00:09:39.059><c> have</c><00:09:39.200><c> a</c><00:09:39.320><c> look</c><00:09:39.460><c> at</c><00:09:39.620><c> its</c><00:09:39.860><c> roots.</c>

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.460
Deuteronomy<00:09:40.919><c> chapter</c><00:09:41.259><c> 32.</c>

00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:52.320
In<00:09:46.159><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:09:46.399><c> 32,</c><00:09:49.960><c> we</c><00:09:50.059><c> read</c><00:09:50.299><c> in</c><00:09:50.419><c> verse</c><00:09:50.659><c> 5</c><00:09:51.059><c> these</c><00:09:51.340><c> words.</c>

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.899
Let's<00:09:53.240><c> just</c><00:09:53.419><c> step</c><00:09:53.580><c> back</c><00:09:53.860><c> to</c><00:09:54.039><c> verse</c><00:09:54.220><c> 4</c><00:09:54.480><c> to</c><00:09:54.620><c> pick</c><00:09:54.860><c> up</c><00:09:55.299><c> the</c><00:09:55.620><c> word</c><00:09:55.919><c> Zur.</c>

00:09:58.100 --> 00:10:01.419
Of<00:09:58.740><c> Yahweh,</c><00:09:59.279><c> it</c><00:09:59.279><c> says,</c><00:10:00.139><c> he</c><00:10:00.340><c> is</c><00:10:00.860><c> the</c><00:10:01.100><c> rock.</c>

00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:03.039
That's<00:10:01.980><c> the</c><00:10:02.139><c> word.</c>

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:08.539
It<00:10:03.240><c> actually</c><00:10:03.539><c> occurs</c><00:10:03.860><c> eight</c><00:10:04.320><c> times</c><00:10:05.139><c> in</c><00:10:06.539><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:10:07.240><c> 32.</c>

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:14.299
And<00:10:10.139><c> five</c><00:10:10.759><c> of</c><00:10:11.000><c> those</c><00:10:11.220><c> are</c><00:10:11.500><c> used</c><00:10:11.779><c> of</c><00:10:12.000><c> Yahweh</c><00:10:12.340><c> himself</c><00:10:12.840><c> as</c><00:10:13.100><c> a</c><00:10:13.360><c> father.</c>

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:16.820
Eight<00:10:15.580><c> is</c><00:10:15.759><c> the</c><00:10:15.779><c> number</c><00:10:16.000><c> of</c><00:10:16.159><c> immortality.</c>

00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:19.500
Five,<00:10:17.620><c> of</c><00:10:17.720><c> course,</c><00:10:17.960><c> is</c><00:10:18.080><c> the</c><00:10:18.200><c> number</c><00:10:18.399><c> of</c><00:10:18.679><c> grace.</c>

00:10:19.659 --> 00:10:24.399
This<00:10:19.899><c> chapter</c><00:10:20.240><c> is</c><00:10:20.440><c> all</c><00:10:20.659><c> about</c><00:10:20.919><c> events</c><00:10:21.240><c> that</c><00:10:21.559><c> lead</c><00:10:21.919><c> the</c><00:10:22.299><c> formation,</c><00:10:23.519><c> the</c><00:10:23.580><c> final</c><00:10:23.799><c> formation</c><00:10:24.259><c> of</c>

00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.700
the<00:10:24.559><c> divine</c><00:10:24.980><c> family.</c>

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:28.860
Because,<00:10:26.000><c> of</c><00:10:26.159><c> course,</c><00:10:26.879><c> the</c><00:10:27.200><c> primary</c><00:10:27.980><c> theme</c><00:10:28.419><c> of</c><00:10:28.620><c> Deuteronomy</c>

00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:31.200
32<00:10:29.320><c> is</c><00:10:29.600><c> Armageddon.</c>

00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.340
It's<00:10:31.820><c> the</c><00:10:31.860><c> setting</c><00:10:32.080><c> up</c><00:10:32.279><c> of</c><00:10:32.379><c> the</c><00:10:32.539><c> kingdom.</c>

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:34.740
So<00:10:33.840><c> what's</c><00:10:34.179><c> Yahweh</c><00:10:34.360><c> doing?</c>

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.639
Well,<00:10:35.220><c> he's</c><00:10:35.679><c> producing</c><00:10:36.259><c> a</c><00:10:36.820><c> family.</c>

00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:38.559
Let's<00:10:37.919><c> read</c><00:10:38.139><c> about</c><00:10:38.379><c> him.</c>

00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:39.679
Verse<00:10:38.759><c> 4.</c>

00:10:39.779 --> 00:10:40.460
He<00:10:39.820><c> is</c><00:10:40.059><c> the</c><00:10:40.340><c> Zur.</c>

00:10:40.539 --> 00:10:45.120
His<00:10:40.740><c> work</c><00:10:41.000><c> is</c><00:10:41.220><c> perfect,</c><00:10:42.399><c> for</c><00:10:42.600><c> all</c><00:10:42.820><c> his</c><00:10:43.019><c> ways</c><00:10:43.220><c> a</c><00:10:43.440><c> judgment,</c><00:10:44.899><c> an</c>

ale<00:10:45.480><c> of</c><00:10:46.019><c> truth.</c>

00:10:47.179 --> 00:10:51.440
And<00:10:47.399><c> without</c><00:10:47.639><c> iniquity,</c><00:10:49.120><c> just</c><00:10:49.539><c> and</c><00:10:50.320><c> right</c><00:10:50.679><c> is</c><00:10:51.100><c> he.</c>

00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:52.679
So<00:10:52.120><c> what</c><00:10:52.179><c> does</c><00:10:52.259><c> he</c><00:10:52.259><c> want</c><00:10:52.379><c> to</c><00:10:52.539><c> do?</c>

00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.179
He<00:10:53.460><c> wants</c><00:10:53.639><c> to</c><00:10:53.860><c> produce</c><00:10:54.139><c> children</c><00:10:54.679><c> in</c><00:10:55.120><c> his</c><00:10:55.299><c> own</c><00:10:55.539><c> likeness.</c>

00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:57.740
Now,<00:10:56.539><c> he</c><00:10:56.600><c> is</c><00:10:56.759><c> a</c><00:10:56.899><c> rock.</c>

00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:01.480
Now,<00:10:57.980><c> a</c><00:10:58.179><c> Zur,</c><00:10:58.840><c> as</c><00:10:59.019><c> you</c><00:10:59.139><c> are</c><00:10:59.399><c> probably</c><00:10:59.759><c> fully</c><00:11:00.039><c> aware,</c><00:11:01.019><c> is</c><00:11:01.200><c> a</c>

In<00:11:03.960><c> contrast</c><00:11:04.460><c> to</c><00:11:04.700><c> a</c><00:11:04.899><c> Silah.</c>

00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:10.139
You<00:11:05.840><c> recall</c><00:11:06.059><c> when</c><00:11:06.639><c> Israel</c><00:11:07.019><c> came</c><00:11:07.480><c> to</c><00:11:07.759><c> Rephidim</c><00:11:08.379><c> that</c><00:11:08.720><c> Moses</c><00:11:09.039><c> was</c><00:11:09.259><c> instructed</c><00:11:09.740><c> to</c>

strike<00:11:10.419><c> a</c><00:11:10.960><c> rock.</c>

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.299
The<00:11:11.500><c> word</c><00:11:11.759><c> rock</c><00:11:11.980><c> there</c><00:11:12.220><c> is</c><00:11:12.360><c> Zur.</c>

00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.120
Forty<00:11:14.379><c> years</c><00:11:14.580><c> later,</c><00:11:15.279><c> he's</c><00:11:15.620><c> told</c><00:11:15.759><c> to</c><00:11:16.080><c> speak</c><00:11:16.440><c> to</c><00:11:16.740><c> a</c><00:11:16.899><c> rock.</c>

00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.179
The<00:11:17.379><c> word</c><00:11:17.580><c> there</c><00:11:17.799><c> is</c><00:11:18.059><c> Silah.</c>

00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:21.320
And<00:11:19.820><c> a</c><00:11:19.980><c> Silah</c><00:11:20.279><c> was</c><00:11:20.460><c> a</c><00:11:20.659><c> cliff</c><00:11:20.879><c> face.</c>

00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.720
Basically,<00:11:22.679><c> a</c><00:11:22.700><c> huge</c><00:11:23.240><c> cliff</c><00:11:23.559><c> face.</c>

00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.840
Whereas<00:11:25.399><c> a</c><00:11:25.940><c> Zur</c><00:11:26.120><c> was</c><00:11:26.500><c> a</c><00:11:26.799><c> boulder</c><00:11:27.080><c> under</c><00:11:27.360><c> which</c><00:11:27.500><c> you</c><00:11:27.620><c> could</c>

00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.000
take<00:11:28.120><c> shelter.</c>

00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:33.440
Now,<00:11:29.799><c> what</c><00:11:29.980><c> I</c><00:11:30.139><c> have</c><00:11:30.240><c> here</c><00:11:30.419><c> on</c><00:11:30.580><c> the</c><00:11:30.779><c> table</c><00:11:31.220><c> is</c><00:11:32.259><c> a</c><00:11:32.620><c> Zur.</c>

00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.519
But<00:11:33.639><c> you've</c><00:11:33.820><c> got</c><00:11:33.840><c> to</c><00:11:33.940><c> multiply</c><00:11:34.279><c> it</c><00:11:34.440><c> by</c><00:11:34.519><c> about</c><00:11:34.799><c> 200</c><00:11:34.919><c> or</c><00:11:34.980><c> 300</c><00:11:35.360><c> times</c><00:11:35.840><c> the</c><00:11:36.120><c> size.</c>

00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:37.740
Okay?

00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:40.679
Now,<00:11:38.240><c> in</c><00:11:38.299><c> a</c><00:11:38.440><c> moment</c><00:11:38.600><c> we're</c><00:11:38.799><c> going</c><00:11:38.860><c> to</c><00:11:39.019><c> see</c><00:11:39.399><c> why</c><00:11:39.919><c> this</c><00:11:40.120><c> is</c><00:11:40.320><c> important.</c>

00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:43.419
I<00:11:40.960><c> want</c><00:11:41.100><c> you</c><00:11:41.200><c> to</c><00:11:41.320><c> read</c><00:11:41.500><c> with</c><00:11:41.580><c> me</c><00:11:41.759><c> verses</c><00:11:42.059><c> 5</c><00:11:42.379><c> and</c><00:11:42.519><c> 6.</c>

00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:45.200
Deuteronomy<00:11:43.960><c> 32.</c>

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.139
They<00:11:46.259><c> have</c><00:11:46.580><c> corrupted</c><00:11:47.000><c> themselves.</c>

00:11:48.580 --> 00:11:53.320
Their<00:11:49.299><c> spot</c><00:11:49.860><c> is</c><00:11:50.600><c> not</c><00:11:51.019><c> the</c><00:11:51.419><c> spot</c><00:11:51.740><c> of</c><00:11:52.080><c> his</c><00:11:52.340><c> children.</c>

00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:57.419
They<00:11:53.960><c> are</c><00:11:54.259><c> a</c><00:11:54.399><c> perverse</c><00:11:55.019><c> and</c><00:11:55.720><c> crooked</c><00:11:56.139><c> generation.</c>

00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.779
There's<00:11:58.059><c> something</c><00:11:58.340><c> about</c><00:11:58.679><c> rocks,</c><00:11:59.139><c> brothers</c><00:11:59.299><c> and</c><00:11:59.539><c> sisters.</c>

00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:04.379
There's<00:12:02.860><c> something</c><00:12:03.139><c> about</c><00:12:03.460><c> rocks.</c>

00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.299
The<00:12:05.539><c> first</c><00:12:05.779><c> thing</c><00:12:05.940><c> is</c><00:12:06.139><c> that</c><00:12:06.279><c> every</c><00:12:06.519><c> rock</c><00:12:06.720><c> looks</c><00:12:06.980><c> different.</c>

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:10.740
They<00:12:07.519><c> have</c><00:12:08.100><c> a</c><00:12:08.620><c> character</c><00:12:09.039><c> of</c><00:12:09.960><c> their</c><00:12:10.240><c> own.</c>

00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:12.019
True?

00:12:12.779 --> 00:12:15.220
Yahweh<00:12:13.220><c> is</c><00:12:13.899><c> our</c><00:12:14.299><c> rock.</c>

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.820
There's<00:12:16.159><c> something</c><00:12:16.340><c> else</c><00:12:16.639><c> about</c><00:12:16.940><c> rocks.</c>

00:12:17.940 --> 00:12:19.320
They're<00:12:17.940><c> very</c><00:12:18.340><c> hard</c><00:12:18.620><c> to</c><00:12:18.879><c> manipulate.</c>

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:22.740
You<00:12:19.639><c> cannot</c><00:12:20.460><c> change</c><00:12:21.200><c> it</c><00:12:21.659><c> easily,</c><00:12:22.279><c> can</c><00:12:22.460><c> you?</c>

00:12:23.139 --> 00:12:25.679
You<00:12:23.240><c> cannot</c><00:12:23.519><c> get</c><00:12:23.799><c> hold</c><00:12:24.000><c> of</c><00:12:24.139><c> it</c><00:12:24.320><c> and</c><00:12:24.460><c> go...</c>

00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.639
like<00:12:26.159><c> plasticine.</c>

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:29.779
They're<00:12:28.799><c> stable.</c>

00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:31.279
They're<00:12:30.399><c> firm.</c>

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.200
They're<00:12:32.000><c> rock</c><00:12:32.299><c>-like.</c>

00:12:33.779 --> 00:12:39.240
And<00:12:34.019><c> Yahweh</c><00:12:34.299><c> wants</c><00:12:34.519><c> to</c><00:12:34.740><c> produce</c><00:12:35.059><c> children</c><00:12:35.600><c> in</c><00:12:36.779><c> his</c><00:12:37.059><c> own</c><00:12:37.919><c> likeness.</c>

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:40.799
When<00:12:39.700><c> he</c><00:12:39.740><c> looks</c><00:12:39.940><c> at</c><00:12:40.080><c> Israel,</c><00:12:40.320><c> he</c><00:12:40.399><c> says,</c>

00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.100
They're<00:12:41.580><c> not</c><00:12:41.720><c> my</c><00:12:42.019><c> children.</c>

00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:45.480
Because<00:12:43.779><c> they're</c><00:12:44.179><c> not</c><00:12:44.519><c> like</c><00:12:44.860><c> me.</c>

00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:47.519
They're<00:12:46.139><c> very</c><00:12:46.440><c> unstable.</c>

00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:50.500
Very,<00:12:49.600><c> very</c><00:12:49.919><c> unstable.</c>

00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:52.960
And<00:12:51.120><c> they</c><00:12:51.279><c> don't</c><00:12:51.500><c> have</c><00:12:51.720><c> my</c><00:12:52.019><c> character.</c>

00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:53.600
Look<00:12:53.259><c> at</c><00:12:53.360><c> them.</c>

00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:55.259
They're<00:12:53.899><c> not</c><00:12:54.080><c> my</c><00:12:54.340><c> children.</c>

00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.720
So<00:12:57.100><c> you</c><00:12:57.240><c> see,</c><00:12:57.500><c> when</c><00:12:57.659><c> Yahweh</c><00:12:57.899><c> sets</c><00:12:58.179><c> out</c><00:12:58.340><c> to</c><00:12:58.500><c> build</c><00:12:58.639><c> a</c><00:12:58.840><c> family,</c>

00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:03.399

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:06.620
He<00:13:03.820><c> wants</c><00:13:04.080><c> them</c><00:13:04.240><c> to</c><00:13:04.419><c> be</c><00:13:04.620><c> molded</c><00:13:05.220><c> after</c><00:13:05.639><c> his</c><00:13:06.019><c> character</c>

00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.799
That's<00:13:11.980><c> the</c><00:13:12.120><c> point</c><00:13:12.340><c> that's</c><00:13:12.539><c> being</c><00:13:12.759><c> made</c><00:13:13.059><c> here.</c>

Verse<00:13:13.980><c> 6.</c>

00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:20.000

Is<00:13:20.899><c> he</c><00:13:21.220><c> not</c><00:13:22.580><c> thy</c><00:13:23.080><c> father</c><00:13:23.659><c> that</c><00:13:24.500><c> hath</c><00:13:24.820><c> bought</c><00:13:25.039><c> thee</c><00:13:25.240><c> with</c><00:13:25.440><c> a</c><00:13:25.639><c> price?</c>

00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:31.940
Is<00:13:27.360><c> it</c><00:13:27.559><c> not</c><00:13:27.720><c> he</c><00:13:27.980><c> that</c><00:13:28.240><c> made</c><00:13:28.519><c> thee</c><00:13:29.559><c> and</c><00:13:30.200><c> established</c><00:13:30.860><c> thee?</c>

00:13:32.100 --> 00:13:33.759
You<00:13:32.500><c> see,</c><00:13:32.639><c> he</c><00:13:32.820><c> is</c><00:13:33.039><c> a</c><00:13:33.220><c> father.</c>

00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:38.120
And<00:13:34.460><c> he</c><00:13:34.580><c> does</c><00:13:34.860><c> want</c><00:13:35.120><c> to</c><00:13:35.340><c> produce</c><00:13:35.679><c> children</c><00:13:36.240><c> in</c><00:13:37.360><c> his</c><00:13:37.620><c> likeness.</c>

00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.639
So<00:13:38.539><c> that's</c><00:13:38.860><c> the</c><00:13:39.019><c> key</c><00:13:39.419><c> to</c><00:13:40.039><c> what</c><00:13:40.220><c> is</c><00:13:40.419><c> happening</c><00:13:40.659><c> here</c><00:13:40.940><c> in</c><00:13:41.039><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:13:41.259><c> 32.</c>

00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.700
And<00:13:41.759><c> as</c><00:13:41.940><c> I</c><00:13:42.100><c> said,</c><00:13:42.980><c> Psalm</c><00:13:43.019><c> 18,</c><00:13:43.700><c> 2</c><00:13:43.860><c> Samuel</c><00:13:44.059><c> 22,</c><00:13:45.139><c> draws</c><00:13:45.279><c> its</c><00:13:45.580><c> roots</c>

00:13:50.779 --> 00:13:55.159
So<00:13:51.379><c> this</c><00:13:51.980><c> Psalm</c><00:13:52.259><c> is</c><00:13:52.519><c> prophetic</c><00:13:52.899><c> of</c><00:13:53.120><c> Christ's</c><00:13:54.220><c> final</c><00:13:54.539><c> triumph</c>

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:46.879
So<00:15:44.919><c> why</c><00:15:45.159><c> are</c><00:15:45.299><c> we</c><00:15:45.460><c> living</c><00:15:45.720><c> stones,</c><00:15:46.179><c> brothers</c><00:15:46.279><c> and</c><00:15:46.519><c> sisters?</c>

00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:49.980
Well,<00:15:47.539><c> because</c><00:15:47.820><c> God</c><00:15:48.039><c> wants</c><00:15:48.240><c> to</c><00:15:48.480><c> mold</c><00:15:48.580><c> us</c><00:15:48.720><c> into</c><00:15:48.899><c> his</c><00:15:49.120><c> shape.</c>

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.360
He<00:15:50.960><c> wants</c><00:15:51.139><c> us</c><00:15:51.419><c> to</c><00:15:52.019><c> be</c><00:15:52.220><c> molded</c><00:15:52.539><c> like</c><00:15:52.779><c> him.</c>

00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:55.899

00:15:56.259 --> 00:15:58.779
He<00:15:56.440><c> wants</c><00:15:56.639><c> us</c><00:15:56.860><c> to</c><00:15:57.000><c> have</c><00:15:57.360><c> his</c><00:15:58.019><c> character.</c>

00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.019

00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:00.879
Not<00:16:59.940><c> correct.</c>

00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:04.019
I<00:17:01.539><c> mean,</c><00:17:01.639><c> David</c><00:17:01.899><c> was</c><00:17:02.179><c> the</c><00:17:02.399><c> sweet</c><00:17:02.639><c> psalmist</c><00:17:02.940><c> of</c><00:17:03.100><c> Israel,</c><00:17:03.740><c> but</c>

that's<00:17:04.299><c> not</c><00:17:04.400><c> what</c><00:17:04.579><c> the</c><00:17:04.759><c> text</c><00:17:04.900><c> is</c><00:17:05.200><c> saying.</c>

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:11.000

00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:01.380

00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:26.460
So<00:20:23.920><c> David</c><00:20:24.099><c> is</c><00:20:24.299><c> a</c><00:20:24.440><c> type</c><00:20:24.579><c> of</c><00:20:24.799><c> Christ,</c><00:20:25.059><c> and</c><00:20:25.180><c> he</c><00:20:25.460><c> saw</c><00:20:25.579><c> himself</c><00:20:25.960><c> as</c><00:20:26.180><c> such,</c>

00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.839

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:51.380
So<00:21:47.920><c> when</c><00:21:48.240><c> they</c><00:21:48.519><c> are</c><00:21:48.680><c> in</c><00:21:48.839><c> the</c><00:21:48.960><c> mouth</c><00:21:49.200><c> of</c><00:21:49.440><c> a</c><00:21:49.559><c> man,</c><00:21:50.519><c> they're</c><00:21:50.759><c> effectively</c><00:21:51.180><c> the</c>

00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.599
So<00:21:53.519><c> these</c><00:21:53.880><c> are</c><00:21:54.140><c> the</c><00:21:54.220><c> words</c><00:21:54.440><c> of</c><00:21:54.680><c> David,</c><00:21:54.940><c> to</c><00:21:55.119><c> be</c><00:21:55.400><c> sure,</c><00:21:56.480><c> but</c>

they're<00:21:56.940><c> inspired</c><00:21:57.380><c> words.</c>

00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.740

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.380
And<00:22:03.819><c> he</c><00:22:03.880><c> talks</c><00:22:04.099><c> about</c><00:22:04.339><c> a</c><00:22:04.500><c> man</c><00:22:04.839><c> in</c><00:22:05.259><c> verse</c><00:22:05.539><c> 1.</c>

00:22:12.619 --> 00:22:15.980
This<00:22:12.819><c> word</c><00:22:13.019><c> man,</c><00:22:13.519><c> and</c><00:22:13.599><c> there</c><00:22:13.720><c> are</c><00:22:13.880><c> several</c><00:22:14.140><c> words</c><00:22:14.460><c> in</c><00:22:14.640><c> the</c><00:22:14.759><c> Hebrew</c><00:22:15.000><c> that</c><00:22:15.220><c> rendered</c><00:22:15.440><c> man,</c><00:22:15.839><c> as</c>

00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:23.380
Gibber<00:22:18.799><c> means</c><00:22:19.099><c> a</c><00:22:19.519><c> valiant</c><00:22:19.839><c> man,</c><00:22:20.160><c> a</c><00:22:20.259><c> man</c><00:22:20.480><c> who's</c><00:22:20.839><c> fought</c><00:22:21.019><c> many</c><00:22:21.660><c> battles,</c><00:22:23.059><c> a</c>

warrior,<00:22:23.839><c> an</c><00:22:24.079><c> experienced</c><00:22:24.920><c> warrior.</c>

00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:29.119
He<00:22:26.200><c> knows</c><00:22:26.559><c> all</c><00:22:26.900><c> about</c><00:22:27.240><c> the</c><00:22:27.500><c> warfare</c><00:22:27.819><c> of</c><00:22:28.019><c> the</c><00:22:28.240><c> truth,</c><00:22:28.559><c> this</c><00:22:28.759><c> man.</c>

00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:31.400
He's<00:22:29.740><c> been</c><00:22:29.980><c> through</c><00:22:30.220><c> it</c><00:22:30.440><c> all.</c>

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:37.160
So<00:22:32.500><c> he's</c><00:22:32.880><c> very</c><00:22:33.460><c> competent</c><00:22:33.940><c> to</c><00:22:34.960><c> speak</c><00:22:35.160><c> these</c><00:22:35.440><c> words</c><00:22:36.059><c> through</c>

00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.779
God's<00:22:37.740><c> inspiration.</c>

00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:42.519
The<00:22:39.880><c> man</c><00:22:40.160><c> who</c><00:22:40.299><c> was</c><00:22:40.500><c> on</c><00:22:40.799><c> high</c><00:22:41.059><c> or</c><00:22:41.279><c> on</c><00:22:41.640><c> top.</c>

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:44.799
Then<00:22:43.339><c> he</c><00:22:43.480><c> says</c><00:22:43.640><c> this.</c>

00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.440
The<00:22:45.380><c> man</c><00:22:45.680><c> who</c><00:22:45.799><c> was</c><00:22:46.039><c> raised</c><00:22:46.220><c> up</c><00:22:46.440><c> on</c><00:22:46.680><c> high,</c><00:22:47.819><c> the</c><00:22:47.980><c> anointed</c><00:22:48.460><c> of</c><00:22:48.799><c> the</c><00:22:49.000><c> God</c><00:22:49.160><c> of</c>

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.180
Jacob<00:22:49.819><c> and</c><00:22:50.640><c> the</c><00:22:50.880><c> sweet</c><00:22:51.119><c> psalmist</c><00:22:51.559><c> of</c><00:22:51.759><c> Israel.</c>

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:55.619
Now<00:22:52.700><c> this</c><00:22:52.839><c> word</c><00:22:53.019><c> anointed,</c><00:22:53.900><c> not</c><00:22:54.140><c> surprisingly,</c><00:22:55.119><c> is</c><00:22:55.140><c> the</c><00:22:55.220><c> word</c>

00:22:55.619 --> 00:23:00.240
Mashiach,<00:22:57.380><c> from</c><00:22:57.579><c> which</c><00:22:57.779><c> we</c><00:22:57.940><c> get</c><00:22:58.099><c> the</c><00:22:58.279><c> English</c><00:22:58.759><c> Messiah.</c>

00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:02.119
So<00:23:00.839><c> this</c><00:23:01.160><c> is</c><00:23:01.420><c> the</c><00:23:01.539><c> Messiah.</c>

00:23:02.380 --> 00:23:05.859
The<00:23:02.480><c> word</c><00:23:02.640><c> occurs</c><00:23:03.099><c> before,</c><00:23:04.099><c> the</c><00:23:04.619><c> word</c><00:23:04.880><c> ol</c><00:23:05.059><c> occurs</c><00:23:05.420><c> before</c>

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:06.359
this<00:23:06.160><c> word.</c>

00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.339
So<00:23:06.539><c> it</c><00:23:06.640><c> should</c><00:23:06.819><c> be</c><00:23:07.039><c> rendered</c><00:23:07.759><c> concerning</c><00:23:09.039><c> an</c><00:23:09.720><c> anointed</c><00:23:10.039><c> one.</c>

00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:12.559
So<00:23:10.619><c> this</c><00:23:10.779><c> is</c><00:23:11.000><c> not</c><00:23:11.180><c> about</c><00:23:11.539><c> David.</c>

00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:16.799
This<00:23:14.019><c> is</c><00:23:14.259><c> about</c><00:23:14.519><c> the</c><00:23:14.740><c> one</c><00:23:14.900><c> of</c><00:23:15.180><c> whom</c><00:23:15.299><c> he</c><00:23:15.500><c> is</c><00:23:15.819><c> speaking.</c>

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:25.599
So<00:23:18.079><c> this</c><00:23:18.319><c> is</c><00:23:18.660><c> words</c><00:23:19.480><c> through</c><00:23:20.140><c> David,</c><00:23:21.079><c> really</c><00:23:21.420><c> from</c><00:23:21.660><c> God,</c><00:23:23.079><c> about</c><00:23:23.680><c> David's</c><00:23:24.779><c> son,</c>

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:29.839

00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:32.880
It<00:23:30.559><c> goes</c><00:23:30.640><c> on</c><00:23:30.779><c> to</c><00:23:30.920><c> talk</c><00:23:31.079><c> about</c><00:23:31.319><c> this</c><00:23:31.539><c> anointed</c><00:23:31.839><c> one</c><00:23:32.039><c> of</c><00:23:32.200><c> the</c><00:23:32.400><c> God</c>

Yahweh,<00:23:37.680><c> who</c><00:23:37.779><c> will</c><00:23:37.960><c> be</c><00:23:38.200><c> finally</c><00:23:38.480><c> manifested</c><00:23:38.960><c> in</c><00:23:39.119><c> the</c><00:23:39.299><c> redeemed</c><00:23:39.640><c> saints</c>

00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:45.279
So<00:23:43.119><c> you</c><00:23:43.279><c> see</c><00:23:43.400><c> this</c><00:23:43.619><c> begins,</c><00:23:44.339><c> doesn't</c><00:23:44.480><c> it?</c><00:23:44.599><c> It</c><00:23:44.819><c> begins</c><00:23:44.960><c> to</c>

expand<00:23:45.900><c> this.</c>

00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:28.680
So<00:24:24.039><c> it's</c><00:24:24.380><c> the</c><00:24:24.700><c> anointed</c><00:24:25.119><c> one</c><00:24:25.740><c> who's</c><00:24:26.759><c> the</c><00:24:26.940><c> pleasant</c><00:24:27.339><c> theme</c><00:24:28.019><c> of</c>

Israel's<00:24:29.299><c> songs.</c>

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:32.220
And<00:24:29.920><c> when</c><00:24:30.099><c> David</c><00:24:30.420><c> wrote</c><00:24:30.700><c> his</c><00:24:31.000><c> Messianic</c><00:24:31.559><c> Psalms,</c><00:24:32.079><c> brothers</c>

and<00:24:32.480><c> sisters,</c><00:24:33.160><c> and</c><00:24:33.400><c> spoke</c><00:24:33.680><c> as</c><00:24:33.880><c> though</c><00:24:34.019><c> he</c><00:24:34.140><c> were</c><00:24:34.339><c> Christ,</c>

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:39.299
and<00:24:35.140><c> those</c><00:24:35.400><c> psalms</c><00:24:35.660><c> were</c><00:24:35.880><c> taken</c><00:24:36.119><c> up</c><00:24:36.500><c> by</c><00:24:36.779><c> the</c><00:24:36.960><c> musicians</c><00:24:37.519><c> in</c><00:24:37.980><c> the</c><00:24:38.180><c> tabernacle</c><00:24:38.680><c> and</c><00:24:39.099><c> in</c>

00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:44.039
And<00:24:40.799><c> they</c><00:24:41.099><c> sung</c><00:24:41.319><c> those</c><00:24:41.599><c> songs.</c><00:24:42.160><c> About</c><00:24:42.460><c> whom</c><00:24:42.680><c> were</c><00:24:42.799><c> they</c><00:24:43.000><c> singing?</c><00:24:43.819><c> Were</c>

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:45.440
they<00:24:44.119><c> singing</c><00:24:44.259><c> about</c><00:24:44.539><c> David?</c>

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.839
No,<00:24:46.779><c> they</c><00:24:46.980><c> were</c><00:24:47.119><c> singing</c><00:24:47.359><c> about</c><00:24:47.680><c> Christ.</c>

00:24:49.460 --> 00:24:54.700
He<00:24:49.779><c> is</c><00:24:50.079><c> the</c><00:24:50.339><c> theme</c><00:24:50.980><c> of</c><00:24:51.579><c> Israel's</c><00:24:52.240><c> songs,</c><00:24:53.440><c> not</c><00:24:53.759><c> David.</c>

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:56.759
And<00:24:54.980><c> that's</c><00:24:55.119><c> why</c><00:24:55.299><c> that</c><00:24:55.559><c> translation</c><00:24:55.960><c> of</c><00:24:56.099><c> Brother</c><00:24:56.259><c> Thomas,</c><00:24:56.579><c> I</c>

00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:58.680
think,<00:24:57.460><c> is</c><00:24:57.720><c> very,</c><00:24:58.039><c> very</c><00:24:58.240><c> good.</c>

00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:02.539
It's<00:24:59.339><c> a</c><00:24:59.359><c> very</c><00:24:59.700><c> accurate</c><00:25:00.099><c> translation</c><00:25:00.740><c> because</c><00:25:01.579><c> it</c><00:25:01.759><c> hits</c><00:25:02.240><c> the</c>

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:05.119
nail<00:25:02.819><c> on</c><00:25:03.180><c> the</c><00:25:03.339><c> head.</c>

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:07.759
It<00:25:05.220><c> goes</c><00:25:05.400><c> on</c><00:25:05.539><c> to</c><00:25:05.740><c> say,</c><00:25:06.259><c> verse</c><00:25:06.440><c> two,</c><00:25:06.819><c> of</c><00:25:06.819><c> course,</c><00:25:07.180><c> we've</c><00:25:07.339><c> read</c>

00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:09.759
the<00:25:08.440><c> inspiration</c><00:25:09.039><c> is</c><00:25:09.259><c> from</c><00:25:09.460><c> God.</c>

00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:11.819
The<00:25:10.200><c> spirit</c><00:25:10.500><c> of</c><00:25:10.700><c> Yahweh</c><00:25:11.039><c> spake</c><00:25:11.440><c> by</c><00:25:11.680><c> me.</c>

00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:13.960
So<00:25:11.980><c> there's</c><00:25:12.259><c> the</c><00:25:12.480><c> proof</c><00:25:12.599><c> of</c><00:25:12.740><c> what</c><00:25:12.799><c> we</c><00:25:13.019><c> said</c><00:25:13.119><c> about</c><00:25:13.420><c> verse</c><00:25:13.720><c> one</c>

00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:15.500
and<00:25:14.099><c> that</c><00:25:14.279><c> word</c><00:25:14.539><c> said.</c>

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:18.420
And<00:25:16.140><c> his</c><00:25:16.400><c> word</c><00:25:16.779><c> was</c><00:25:17.200><c> in</c><00:25:17.740><c> my</c><00:25:18.099><c> tongue.</c>

00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.299
He's<00:25:18.880><c> an</c><00:25:19.079><c> inspired</c><00:25:19.460><c> man,</c><00:25:19.940><c> and</c><00:25:20.359><c> he's</c><00:25:20.539><c> going</c><00:25:20.619><c> to</c><00:25:20.740><c> give</c><00:25:20.839><c> us</c><00:25:21.019><c> an</c>

00:25:21.299 --> 00:25:24.819
inspired<00:25:22.279><c> address</c><00:25:22.920><c> for</c><00:25:23.460><c> his</c><00:25:23.740><c> final</c><00:25:24.279><c> words.</c>

00:25:24.819 --> 00:25:28.759
So<00:25:25.839><c> here</c><00:25:25.880><c> it</c><00:25:26.039><c> comes,</c><00:25:27.339><c> verse</c><00:25:27.480><c> three.</c>

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:33.460
The<00:25:28.819><c> God,</c><00:25:29.740><c> the</c><00:25:29.920><c> Elohim</c><00:25:30.200><c> of</c><00:25:30.380><c> Israel,</c><00:25:30.819><c> said,</c><00:25:32.039><c> the</c><00:25:32.279><c> Zer,</c><00:25:32.920><c> the</c><00:25:33.119><c> rock</c><00:25:33.259><c> of</c>

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:35.740
Israel,<00:25:34.160><c> spake</c><00:25:34.480><c> to</c><00:25:34.759><c> me.</c>

00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:39.140
He<00:25:35.980><c> that</c><00:25:36.160><c> ruleeth</c><00:25:36.440><c> over</c><00:25:36.720><c> men</c><00:25:36.980><c> must</c><00:25:37.240><c> be</c><00:25:37.460><c> just,</c><00:25:38.339><c> ruling</c><00:25:38.579><c> in</c><00:25:38.920><c> the</c>

00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:40.000
fear<00:25:39.440><c> of</c><00:25:39.680><c> God.</c>

00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:42.420
So<00:25:40.660><c> this</c><00:25:40.920><c> theme</c><00:25:41.259><c> continues</c><00:25:41.819><c> through,</c><00:25:42.319><c> doesn't</c><00:25:42.319><c> it?</c>

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:47.059
The<00:25:42.619><c> theme</c><00:25:42.799><c> of</c><00:25:42.980><c> a</c><00:25:43.079><c> multitude,</c><00:25:43.599><c> the</c><00:25:43.720><c> mighty</c><00:25:44.019><c> ones,</c><00:25:44.579><c> the</c><00:25:44.740><c> Elohim,</c><00:25:45.819><c> permeates</c><00:25:46.339><c> the</c><00:25:46.579><c> discourse.</c>

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:49.539
But<00:25:47.640><c> then</c><00:25:47.779><c> this</c><00:25:48.059><c> statement</c><00:25:48.319><c> is</c><00:25:48.619><c> made.</c>

00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:53.420
Now,<00:25:50.980><c> you</c><00:25:51.079><c> know,</c><00:25:51.079><c> when</c><00:25:51.180><c> you</c><00:25:51.359><c> read</c><00:25:51.559><c> the</c><00:25:51.779><c> authorized</c><00:25:52.160><c> translation,</c><00:25:52.859><c> it's</c><00:25:53.000><c> almost</c><00:25:53.180><c> like</c>

00:25:55.819 --> 00:25:58.980
You<00:25:55.960><c> know,</c><00:25:56.240><c> say,</c><00:25:57.559><c> let</c><00:25:57.819><c> me</c><00:25:57.940><c> just</c><00:25:58.119><c> give</c><00:25:58.180><c> you</c><00:25:58.279><c> an</c><00:25:58.420><c> exhortation,</c>

00:25:59.180 --> 00:26:00.559
brethren<00:25:59.319><c> and</c><00:25:59.559><c> sisters.</c>

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:06.059
He<00:26:01.460><c> that's</c><00:26:01.980><c> ruling</c><00:26:02.160><c> over</c><00:26:02.480><c> the</c><00:26:02.700><c> Ecclesia</c><00:26:03.180><c> must</c><00:26:03.539><c> be</c><00:26:03.799><c> a</c><00:26:03.980><c> competent</c><00:26:04.940><c> brother,</c>

00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.960
Okay,<00:26:09.279><c> tell</c><00:26:09.440><c> me</c><00:26:09.599><c> something</c><00:26:09.819><c> new.</c>

00:26:12.940 --> 00:26:15.180
It's<00:26:13.339><c> not</c><00:26:13.859><c> an</c><00:26:14.380><c> exhortation.</c>

00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:19.960
This,<00:26:16.480><c> brothers</c><00:26:16.599><c> and</c><00:26:16.819><c> sisters,</c><00:26:17.740><c> is</c><00:26:17.880><c> about</c><00:26:18.160><c> the</c><00:26:18.299><c> Lord</c><00:26:18.480><c> Jesus</c><00:26:18.960><c> Christ.</c>

00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.700
That's<00:26:20.660><c> why</c><00:26:20.900><c> these</c><00:26:21.259><c> translations</c><00:26:21.779><c> are</c><00:26:22.000><c> important</c><00:26:22.440><c> here.</c>

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:28.559
Rotherham<00:26:24.220><c> translates</c><00:26:24.799><c> it,</c><00:26:25.259><c> one</c><00:26:25.619><c> ruling</c><00:26:26.180><c> over</c><00:26:26.599><c> men,</c><00:26:27.500><c> a</c><00:26:27.640><c> righteous</c><00:26:28.099><c> one.</c>

00:26:28.940 --> 00:26:32.839
Brother<00:26:29.099><c> Thomas,</c><00:26:30.140><c> there</c><00:26:30.359><c> shall</c><00:26:30.640><c> be</c><00:26:31.000><c> a</c><00:26:31.160><c> ruler</c><00:26:31.539><c> over</c><00:26:32.180><c> mankind,</c>

a<00:26:33.420><c> just</c><00:26:33.660><c> one.</c>

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:38.619
It's<00:26:34.480><c> pointing</c><00:26:34.880><c> to</c><00:26:35.680><c> the</c><00:26:35.940><c> character</c><00:26:36.339><c> of</c><00:26:36.779><c> the</c><00:26:36.980><c> rulership</c><00:26:37.460><c> of</c><00:26:37.660><c> Christ.</c>

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:41.099
It<00:26:39.099><c> is</c><00:26:39.380><c> going</c><00:26:39.599><c> to</c><00:26:39.880><c> be</c><00:26:40.140><c> righteous</c><00:26:40.559><c> and</c><00:26:40.920><c> just.</c>

00:26:41.180 --> 00:26:43.859
He<00:26:41.359><c> is</c><00:26:41.619><c> the</c><00:26:41.759><c> Melchizedek,</c><00:26:42.440><c> king</c><00:26:42.619><c> of</c><00:26:42.880><c> righteousness,</c><00:26:43.740><c> who</c>

will<00:26:44.079><c> bring</c><00:26:44.259><c> peace.</c>

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:48.079
However,<00:26:45.460><c> the</c><00:26:45.619><c> he</c><00:26:45.839><c> here</c><00:26:46.299><c> is</c><00:26:46.640><c> not</c><00:26:46.880><c> just</c><00:26:47.099><c> him.</c>

00:26:48.339 --> 00:26:51.940
It<00:26:48.500><c> is</c><00:26:48.740><c> the</c><00:26:48.940><c> multitudinous</c><00:26:49.599><c> Christ</c><00:26:50.180><c> who</c><00:26:51.059><c> will</c><00:26:51.400><c> share</c><00:26:51.640><c> that</c>

But<00:31:44.579><c> then</c><00:31:44.859><c> there</c><00:31:45.000><c> will</c><00:31:45.259><c> be</c><00:31:45.500><c> the</c><00:31:45.720><c> bringing</c><00:31:45.920><c> down</c><00:31:46.339><c> of</c><00:31:46.579><c> rain</c><00:31:47.240><c> and</c>

00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:48.720
the<00:31:47.980><c> dew</c>

00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:51.980
that<00:31:49.059><c> will</c><00:31:49.279><c> bring</c><00:31:49.500><c> forth</c><00:31:49.819><c> new</c><00:31:50.079><c> life</c><00:31:50.700><c> upon</c><00:31:51.440><c> the</c><00:31:51.680><c> earth.</c>

00:31:52.299 --> 00:31:55.119
And<00:31:52.420><c> there'll</c><00:31:52.579><c> be</c><00:31:52.740><c> a</c><00:31:52.900><c> clear</c><00:31:53.140><c> shining,</c><00:31:53.740><c> the</c><00:31:53.859><c> uninterrupted</c><00:31:54.559><c> light</c><00:31:54.859><c> of</c>

00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.359
divine<00:31:55.460><c> government</c><00:31:55.880><c> upon</c><00:31:56.200><c> the</c><00:31:56.460><c> earth.</c>

00:31:57.819 --> 00:31:59.339
Like<00:31:58.160><c> that</c><00:31:58.599><c> after</c><00:31:58.940><c> rain.</c>

00:31:59.619 --> 00:32:02.720
Now<00:31:59.779><c> that's</c><00:32:00.079><c> lifted</c><00:32:00.279><c> from</c><00:32:00.500><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:32:01.000><c> 32,</c><00:32:01.500><c> verse</c><00:32:01.740><c> 1.</c>

00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.380
My<00:32:03.519><c> doctrine</c><00:32:04.059><c> shall</c><00:32:04.480><c> drop</c><00:32:04.980><c> as</c><00:32:05.339><c> the</c><00:32:05.559><c> rain.</c>

00:32:06.819 --> 00:32:10.559
My<00:32:07.119><c> word,</c><00:32:07.400><c> he</c><00:32:07.559><c> says,</c><00:32:07.819><c> will</c><00:32:08.079><c> distill</c><00:32:09.119><c> as</c><00:32:09.500><c> the</c><00:32:09.779><c> dew.</c>

00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:13.839
It's<00:32:11.000><c> going</c><00:32:11.140><c> to</c><00:32:11.299><c> be</c><00:32:11.460><c> the</c><00:32:11.619><c> thing</c><00:32:11.759><c> that</c><00:32:11.960><c> produces</c><00:32:12.440><c> these</c><00:32:12.779><c> results.</c>

00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.339
Christ<00:32:14.420><c> and</c><00:32:14.599><c> the</c><00:32:14.759><c> saints,</c><00:32:15.700><c> having</c><00:32:15.900><c> brought</c><00:32:16.180><c> judgment,</c><00:32:17.200><c> will</c>

00:32:17.339 --> 00:32:19.279
then<00:32:17.619><c> bring</c><00:32:18.039><c> education.</c>

00:32:19.339 --> 00:32:21.700
And<00:32:19.519><c> the</c><00:32:19.700><c> world</c><00:32:20.019><c> will</c><00:32:20.400><c> be</c><00:32:20.640><c> changed.</c>

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:26.680
But,<00:32:23.920><c> there's</c><00:32:24.240><c> always</c><00:32:24.799><c> a</c><00:32:25.140><c> but,</c><00:32:25.700><c> isn't</c><00:32:25.819><c> there?</c>

00:32:27.089 --> 00:32:33.000
You<00:32:27.420><c> can</c><00:32:27.720><c> present</c><00:32:28.299><c> the</c><00:32:28.859><c> beauty</c><00:32:29.240><c> of</c><00:32:29.619><c> the</c><00:32:29.799><c> picture</c><00:32:30.319><c> of</c><00:32:31.180><c> the</c><00:32:31.359><c> glories</c><00:32:31.700><c> to</c><00:32:31.980><c> come.</c>

00:32:33.019 --> 00:32:37.000
But<00:32:33.059><c> what</c><00:32:33.460><c> gets</c><00:32:33.799><c> in</c><00:32:34.200><c> the</c><00:32:34.380><c> way</c><00:32:34.920><c> is</c><00:32:35.660><c> human</c><00:32:35.960><c> nature.</c>

00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:39.059
Doesn't<00:32:38.079><c> it?</c>

00:32:39.460 --> 00:32:42.019
What<00:32:39.640><c> gets</c><00:32:39.940><c> in</c><00:32:40.160><c> the</c><00:32:40.319><c> way</c><00:32:40.599><c> is</c><00:32:40.859><c> human</c><00:32:41.019><c> nature.</c>

00:32:42.859 --> 00:32:46.079
And<00:32:42.980><c> so</c><00:32:43.119><c> David</c><00:32:43.420><c> says</c><00:32:43.779><c> in</c><00:32:44.000><c> verse</c><00:32:44.259><c> 5.</c>

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.960
Although<00:32:46.920><c> my</c><00:32:47.299><c> house</c><00:32:47.680><c> be</c><00:32:47.900><c> not</c><00:32:48.200><c> so</c><00:32:48.619><c> with</c><00:32:49.039><c> ale,</c>

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.339
yet<00:32:51.019><c> he</c><00:32:51.400><c> hath</c><00:32:51.579><c> made</c><00:32:51.900><c> with</c><00:32:52.059><c> me</c><00:32:52.240><c> an</c><00:32:52.420><c> everlasting</c><00:32:52.880><c> covenant,</c>

00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:55.539
ordered<00:32:53.799><c> in</c><00:32:54.000><c> all</c><00:32:54.220><c> things</c><00:32:54.559><c> and</c><00:32:54.819><c> sure.</c>

00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:59.119
This<00:32:56.140><c> is</c><00:32:56.339><c> all</c><00:32:56.720><c> my</c><00:32:56.940><c> salvation</c><00:32:57.420><c> and</c><00:32:58.119><c> all</c><00:32:58.319><c> my</c><00:32:58.500><c> desire,</c><00:32:58.880><c> although</c>

00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:00.339
he<00:32:59.359><c> make</c><00:32:59.480><c> it</c><00:32:59.700><c> not</c><00:32:59.900><c> to</c><00:33:00.140><c> grow.</c>

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:06.960
Now,<00:33:01.559><c> to</c><00:33:01.680><c> be</c><00:33:01.920><c> sure,</c><00:33:03.180><c> the</c><00:33:03.380><c> translations</c><00:33:04.000><c> differ</c><00:33:04.720><c> on</c><00:33:05.880><c> the</c><00:33:06.359><c> translation</c><00:33:06.779><c> of</c>

00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:08.099
this<00:33:07.140><c> passage.</c>

00:33:08.700 --> 00:33:10.880
So<00:33:08.839><c> you</c><00:33:09.019><c> have,</c><00:33:09.279><c> for</c><00:33:09.460><c> example,</c>

00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:15.579
Rotherham,<00:33:12.599><c> when</c><00:33:12.680><c> not</c><00:33:13.099><c> so</c><00:33:13.440><c> was</c><00:33:13.660><c> my</c><00:33:13.960><c> house</c><00:33:14.240><c> with</c><00:33:14.519><c> God,</c><00:33:15.059><c> then</c><00:33:15.339><c> he</c>

00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:17.180
made<00:33:15.779><c> with</c><00:33:16.000><c> me</c><00:33:16.200><c> a</c><00:33:16.380><c> covenant.</c>

00:33:17.259 --> 00:33:20.839
The<00:33:17.420><c> RSV,</c><00:33:18.039><c> yea,</c><00:33:18.619><c> does</c><00:33:18.839><c> not</c><00:33:19.079><c> my</c><00:33:19.359><c> house</c><00:33:19.720><c> stand</c><00:33:20.059><c> so</c><00:33:20.319><c> with</c><00:33:20.559><c> God,</c>

00:33:20.859 --> 00:33:23.160
suggests<00:33:21.319><c> something</c><00:33:21.640><c> quite</c><00:33:21.960><c> different</c><00:33:22.319><c> to</c><00:33:22.500><c> this,</c><00:33:22.740><c> doesn't</c><00:33:22.940><c> it?</c>

00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:26.640
It<00:33:23.500><c> suggests,</c><00:33:24.079><c> for</c><00:33:24.359><c> example,</c><00:33:25.500><c> that</c><00:33:25.640><c> David's</c><00:33:26.119><c> saying,</c><00:33:26.640><c> well,</c>

00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:27.539
I'm<00:33:26.839><c> ready</c><00:33:27.039><c> for</c><00:33:27.259><c> this.</c>

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:30.200
You<00:33:28.039><c> know,</c><00:33:28.319><c> my</c><00:33:28.519><c> house</c><00:33:28.759><c> has</c><00:33:28.940><c> been</c><00:33:29.119><c> given</c><00:33:29.319><c> these</c><00:33:29.640><c> promises</c><00:33:30.000><c> and</c>

00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:32.160
in<00:33:30.640><c> a</c><00:33:30.859><c> sense</c><00:33:30.960><c> we're</c><00:33:31.200><c> ready.</c>

00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:36.779
Interlinear<00:33:33.740><c> Bible,</c><00:33:34.599><c> for</c><00:33:34.779><c> is</c><00:33:35.140><c> not</c><00:33:35.420><c> so</c><00:33:35.680><c> my</c><00:33:35.900><c> house</c><00:33:36.180><c> with</c><00:33:36.420><c> God?</c>

00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.559
Well,<00:33:37.519><c> yes,</c><00:33:37.759><c> God</c><00:33:38.039><c> had</c><00:33:38.380><c> made</c><00:33:38.680><c> promises</c><00:33:39.000><c> to</c><00:33:39.220><c> the</c><00:33:39.339><c> house</c><00:33:39.519><c> of</c><00:33:39.799><c> David.</c>

00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:44.640
The<00:33:40.920><c> companion</c><00:33:41.279><c> Bible,</c><00:33:41.940><c> for</c><00:33:42.079><c> is</c><00:33:42.319><c> not</c><00:33:42.519><c> my</c><00:33:42.759><c> house</c><00:33:43.099><c> thus</c><00:33:43.380><c> through</c><00:33:43.759><c> God?</c>

00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.579
All<00:33:45.119><c> of</c><00:33:45.279><c> those</c><00:33:45.460><c> things,</c><00:33:45.640><c> you</c><00:33:45.759><c> know,</c><00:33:45.900><c> you</c><00:33:45.960><c> can</c><00:33:46.200><c> pick</c><00:33:46.319><c> up</c><00:33:46.420><c> little</c>

00:33:46.579 --> 00:33:48.559
things<00:33:46.859><c> that</c><00:33:47.019><c> might</c><00:33:47.259><c> be</c><00:33:47.559><c> appropriate.</c>

00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:51.680
But<00:33:49.000><c> I</c><00:33:49.220><c> just</c><00:33:49.400><c> prefer</c><00:33:49.680><c> the</c><00:33:49.960><c> AV,</c><00:33:50.660><c> quite</c><00:33:50.779><c> frankly.</c>

00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:54.799
Because<00:33:52.339><c> I</c><00:33:52.619><c> think</c><00:33:52.799><c> in</c><00:33:53.000><c> the</c><00:33:53.180><c> context,</c><00:33:53.779><c> and</c><00:33:53.859><c> by</c><00:33:54.039><c> the</c><00:33:54.200><c> way,</c>

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:57.240
if<00:33:55.160><c> there's</c><00:33:55.339><c> any</c><00:33:55.579><c> dispute</c><00:33:55.960><c> about</c><00:33:56.240><c> anything</c><00:33:56.559><c> in</c><00:33:56.859><c> the</c><00:33:57.000><c> Bible,</c>

00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.539
the<00:33:57.599><c> context</c><00:33:57.960><c> is</c><00:33:58.180><c> the</c><00:33:58.339><c> final</c><00:33:58.599><c> arbiter.</c>

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:02.140
It's<00:33:59.980><c> not</c><00:34:00.079><c> what</c><00:34:00.160><c> you</c><00:34:00.359><c> think</c><00:34:00.539><c> about</c><00:34:00.759><c> it,</c><00:34:01.000><c> it's</c><00:34:01.119><c> what</c><00:34:01.259><c> the</c><00:34:01.519><c> context</c><00:34:01.819><c> says.</c>

00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:05.380
If<00:34:02.720><c> you</c><00:34:02.859><c> can't</c><00:34:03.099><c> resolve</c><00:34:03.319><c> it</c><00:34:03.500><c> after</c><00:34:03.640><c> that,</c><00:34:03.980><c> leave</c><00:34:04.160><c> it</c><00:34:04.299><c> for</c><00:34:04.440><c> Christ.</c>

00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:08.880
The<00:34:06.160><c> context</c><00:34:06.660><c> is</c><00:34:06.900><c> the</c><00:34:07.019><c> final</c><00:34:07.740><c> arbiter.</c>

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:11.639
So,<00:34:09.719><c> let's</c><00:34:09.920><c> just</c><00:34:10.179><c> take</c><00:34:10.400><c> the</c><00:34:10.659><c> AV.</c>

00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.880

00:35:07.980 --> 00:35:10.260

00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:17.780
The<00:35:13.179><c> sin</c><00:35:13.360><c> with</c><00:35:13.579><c> Bathsheba</c><00:35:14.039><c> and</c><00:35:14.239><c> Uriah</c><00:35:15.059><c> had</c><00:35:15.480><c> brought</c><00:35:15.739><c> terrible,</c><00:35:17.480><c> hideous</c>

00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:18.900
things<00:35:18.119><c> into</c><00:35:18.320><c> his</c><00:35:18.539><c> family.</c>

00:35:19.179 --> 00:35:24.099
He<00:35:19.219><c> lost</c><00:35:19.440><c> four</c><00:35:19.760><c> sons</c><00:35:20.320><c> in</c><00:35:21.739><c> circumstances</c><00:35:22.500><c> that</c><00:35:23.820><c> would</c><00:35:23.940><c> make</c>

00:35:24.099 --> 00:35:25.900
his<00:35:24.340><c> heart</c><00:35:24.599><c> grieve.</c>

00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:28.840
My<00:35:26.980><c> house</c><00:35:27.260><c> is</c><00:35:27.460><c> not</c><00:35:27.639><c> so</c><00:35:27.820><c> with</c><00:35:27.980><c> God.</c>

00:35:29.300 --> 00:35:32.000
When<00:35:29.480><c> David</c><00:35:29.719><c> looked</c><00:35:29.940><c> at</c><00:35:30.099><c> his</c><00:35:30.320><c> house,</c><00:35:30.840><c> brothers</c><00:35:30.860><c> and</c><00:35:31.099><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:32.260 --> 00:35:35.980
you'd<00:35:32.460><c> have</c><00:35:32.519><c> to</c><00:35:32.659><c> wonder</c><00:35:32.860><c> why</c><00:35:33.139><c> God</c><00:35:33.559><c> persisted</c><00:35:34.719><c> with</c><00:35:34.900><c> it.</c>

00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:37.940
But<00:35:36.699><c> he</c><00:35:36.860><c> did.</c>

00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:42.519
Because<00:35:38.519><c> David</c><00:35:39.019><c> was</c><00:35:39.239><c> a</c><00:35:39.440><c> man</c><00:35:39.800><c> who</c><00:35:40.340><c> knew</c><00:35:40.519><c> the</c><00:35:40.739><c> blessedness</c><00:35:41.179><c> of</c><00:35:41.400><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:46.699
Now<00:35:44.099><c> there</c><00:35:44.239><c> was</c><00:35:44.440><c> a</c><00:35:44.579><c> stability</c><00:35:44.900><c> in</c><00:35:45.099><c> his</c><00:35:45.360><c> life</c><00:35:45.900><c> that</c><00:35:46.300><c> he</c><00:35:46.440><c> hadn't</c>

00:35:46.699 --> 00:35:49.940
had<00:35:47.400><c> throughout</c><00:35:47.980><c> it.</c>

00:35:50.420 --> 00:35:54.039
Brothers<00:35:50.519><c> and</c><00:35:50.760><c> sisters,</c><00:35:51.039><c> that's</c><00:35:51.559><c> where</c><00:35:51.719><c> he</c><00:35:51.980><c> got</c><00:35:52.659><c> by</c><00:35:53.320><c> the</c><00:35:53.519><c> workings</c><00:35:53.820><c> of</c>

God<00:35:54.280><c> in</c><00:35:54.699><c> his</c><00:35:54.980><c> life.</c>

00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:57.400
That's<00:35:55.800><c> why</c><00:35:56.000><c> I</c><00:35:56.079><c> think</c><00:35:56.219><c> the</c><00:35:56.500><c> contrast</c><00:35:56.920><c> is</c><00:35:57.199><c> there.</c>

00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:59.320

00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.940

00:36:09.260 --> 00:36:10.860
His<00:36:09.460><c> house</c><00:36:09.679><c> wasn't</c><00:36:09.960><c> ordered.</c>

00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:14.019

00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.219
So<00:36:15.559><c> if</c><00:36:15.659><c> your</c><00:36:15.780><c> house</c><00:36:15.940><c> is</c><00:36:16.119><c> falling</c><00:36:16.340><c> apart,</c><00:36:18.420><c> if</c><00:36:18.539><c> your</c><00:36:18.719><c> family</c><00:36:18.980><c> is</c>

00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:42.960
You<00:36:41.260><c> mightn't</c><00:36:41.420><c> get</c><00:36:41.519><c> all</c><00:36:41.659><c> your</c><00:36:41.780><c> family.</c>

00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.159
That,<00:36:45.119><c> brothers</c><00:36:45.119><c> and</c><00:36:45.320><c> sisters,</c><00:36:45.539><c> is</c><00:36:45.639><c> what</c><00:36:45.780><c> I</c><00:36:45.880><c> think</c><00:36:46.000><c> he's</c><00:36:46.320><c> saying.</c>

It's<00:42:35.079><c> a</c><00:42:35.199><c> pretty</c><00:42:35.440><c> good</c><00:42:35.719><c> translation,</c><00:42:36.340><c> that</c><00:42:36.619><c> marginal</c><00:42:37.119><c> one.</c>

00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:42.159
He<00:42:38.059><c> will</c><00:42:38.260><c> be</c><00:42:38.599><c> filled</c><00:42:39.019><c> with</c><00:42:39.599><c> the</c><00:42:40.739><c> iron</c><00:42:40.920><c> and</c><00:42:41.179><c> the</c><00:42:41.500><c> staff</c><00:42:41.679><c> of</c><00:42:41.920><c> a</c><00:42:42.059><c> spear.</c>

00:42:42.179 --> 00:42:44.920
Now<00:42:42.320><c> we</c><00:42:42.360><c> know</c><00:42:42.559><c> that</c><00:42:42.739><c> iron</c><00:42:42.960><c> of</c><00:42:43.159><c> course</c><00:42:43.340><c> is</c><00:42:43.519><c> the</c><00:42:43.659><c> symbol</c><00:42:43.880><c> for</c><00:42:44.119><c> Rome.</c>

00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:51.619
And<00:42:46.420><c> not</c><00:42:46.599><c> only</c><00:42:47.039><c> did</c><00:42:47.260><c> the</c><00:42:47.539><c> Romans</c><00:42:47.960><c> belt</c><00:42:49.800><c> iron</c><00:42:50.619><c> nails</c><00:42:51.139><c> through</c>

00:42:53.860 --> 00:42:57.179
But<00:42:54.179><c> when</c><00:42:54.360><c> he</c><00:42:54.440><c> was</c><00:42:54.699><c> dead</c><00:42:54.880><c> after</c><00:42:55.199><c> six</c><00:42:55.480><c> hours</c><00:42:55.719><c> of</c><00:42:55.960><c> agony,</c>

00:42:57.300 --> 00:43:02.820
a<00:42:57.300><c> Roman</c><00:42:57.579><c> soldier</c><00:42:57.960><c> came</c><00:42:58.340><c> with</c><00:42:58.679><c> an</c><00:42:58.960><c> iron</c><00:42:59.760><c> spear</c><00:43:00.380><c> and</c><00:43:01.760><c> thrust</c><00:43:02.059><c> it</c>

00:43:02.820 --> 00:43:04.579
into<00:43:03.340><c> his</c><00:43:03.679><c> side.</c>

00:43:05.139 --> 00:43:09.420
He<00:43:05.159><c> was</c><00:43:05.480><c> filled</c><00:43:05.820><c> with</c><00:43:06.940><c> iron,</c><00:43:08.119><c> was</c><00:43:08.239><c> this</c><00:43:08.539><c> man.</c>

00:43:09.579 --> 00:43:11.260
He<00:43:09.719><c> was</c><00:43:09.920><c> in</c><00:43:10.039><c> the</c><00:43:10.280><c> act.</c>

00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:15.099
The<00:43:12.119><c> very</c><00:43:12.420><c> first</c><00:43:12.800><c> stage</c><00:43:13.320><c> of</c><00:43:13.579><c> destroying</c><00:43:14.039><c> the</c><00:43:14.380><c> power</c><00:43:14.739><c> of</c><00:43:14.980><c> sin</c>

00:43:15.099 --> 00:43:15.500
and<00:43:15.340><c> death.</c>

00:43:15.659 --> 00:43:19.099
The<00:43:15.840><c> power</c><00:43:16.079><c> of</c><00:43:16.320><c> the</c><00:43:16.480><c> serpent</c><00:43:16.880><c> is</c><00:43:17.300><c> going</c><00:43:17.360><c> to</c><00:43:17.500><c> happen</c><00:43:17.659><c> in</c><00:43:17.780><c> himself</c><00:43:18.320><c> first.</c>

00:43:19.099 --> 00:43:22.159
It's<00:43:20.000><c> about</c><00:43:20.219><c> to</c><00:43:20.360><c> happen</c><00:43:20.579><c> in</c><00:43:20.960><c> you</c><00:43:21.119><c> and</c><00:43:21.280><c> me</c><00:43:21.440><c> brothers</c><00:43:21.679><c> and</c><00:43:21.920><c> sisters.</c>

00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:24.820
The<00:43:22.480><c> second</c><00:43:22.820><c> stage</c><00:43:23.320><c> of</c><00:43:23.659><c> that</c><00:43:23.980><c> work.</c>

00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:29.719
We<00:43:25.719><c> too</c><00:43:26.179><c> will</c><00:43:26.619><c> have</c><00:43:26.780><c> the</c><00:43:27.059><c> serpent</c><00:43:27.480><c> taken</c><00:43:28.019><c> away</c><00:43:28.599><c> by</c><00:43:28.980><c> the</c><00:43:29.380><c> work</c>

00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:31.019
of<00:43:29.980><c> that</c><00:43:30.159><c> man.</c>

00:43:31.500 --> 00:43:35.119
And<00:43:31.619><c> at</c><00:43:31.800><c> the</c><00:43:31.880><c> end</c><00:43:31.980><c> of</c><00:43:32.139><c> the</c><00:43:32.179><c> millennium,</c><00:43:32.960><c> the</c><00:43:33.079><c> third</c><00:43:33.340><c> stage</c><00:43:33.699><c> will</c><00:43:33.900><c> be</c><00:43:34.199><c> attained.</c>

00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:37.480
And<00:43:36.059><c> the</c><00:43:36.219><c> power</c><00:43:36.400><c> of</c><00:43:36.599><c> the</c><00:43:36.679><c> serpent</c><00:43:36.820><c> will</c><00:43:37.039><c> be</c><00:43:37.239><c> broken.</c>

00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:40.019
More<00:43:37.780><c> about</c><00:43:38.059><c> that</c><00:43:38.340><c> tomorrow,</c><00:43:39.500><c> God</c><00:43:39.739><c> willing.</c>

00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:41.900
But<00:43:40.380><c> look</c><00:43:40.500><c> how</c><00:43:40.619><c> this</c><00:43:40.880><c> concludes.</c>

00:43:43.260 --> 00:43:47.039
We<00:43:43.519><c> read</c><00:43:43.739><c> here</c><00:43:44.019><c> in</c><00:43:44.219><c> verse,</c><00:43:45.440><c> the</c><00:43:45.579><c> end</c><00:43:45.739><c> of</c><00:43:45.880><c> verse</c><00:43:46.099><c> seven.</c>

00:43:47.179 --> 00:43:51.360
And<00:43:47.739><c> they</c><00:43:47.980><c> shall</c><00:43:48.179><c> be</c><00:43:48.440><c> utterly</c><00:43:49.079><c> burned</c><00:43:49.539><c> with</c><00:43:50.079><c> fire</c><00:43:50.659><c> in</c><00:43:51.139><c> the</c>

same<00:43:51.599><c> place.</c>

00:43:52.820 --> 00:43:55.820
Now<00:43:52.920><c> this</c><00:43:53.019><c> word</c><00:43:53.320><c> burned</c><00:43:53.719><c> here</c><00:43:54.000><c> is</c><00:43:54.179><c> the</c><00:43:54.340><c> Hebrew</c><00:43:54.559><c> word</c><00:43:54.860><c> saraf,</c>

00:43:58.260 --> 00:44:02.019
The<00:43:58.500><c> root,</c><00:43:59.179><c> it's</c><00:43:59.460><c> the</c><00:43:59.679><c> root</c><00:44:00.119><c> of</c><00:44:00.840><c> seraphim.</c>

00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:04.579
Hardly<00:44:02.579><c> need</c><00:44:02.659><c> to</c><00:44:02.940><c> tell</c><00:44:03.059><c> you</c><00:44:03.739><c> what</c><00:44:04.000><c> that</c><00:44:04.260><c> means.</c>

00:44:04.820 --> 00:44:06.980
Seraphim<00:44:05.239><c> means</c><00:44:05.579><c> burning</c><00:44:06.039><c> ones.</c>

00:44:07.139 --> 00:44:09.400
The<00:44:07.199><c> other</c><00:44:07.320><c> ones</c><00:44:07.420><c> are</c><00:44:07.559><c> going</c><00:44:07.639><c> to</c><00:44:07.800><c> do</c><00:44:07.980><c> the</c><00:44:08.219><c> burning</c><00:44:08.460><c> in</c><00:44:08.699><c> that</c><00:44:08.960><c> day.</c>

00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:13.539
A<00:44:10.019><c> reference</c><00:44:10.400><c> to</c><00:44:10.860><c> the</c><00:44:11.059><c> saints</c><00:44:11.400><c> who</c><00:44:12.000><c> with</c><00:44:12.139><c> the</c><00:44:12.340><c> Lord</c><00:44:12.519><c> Jesus</c><00:44:12.980><c> Christ</c>

00:44:13.539 --> 00:44:17.400
will<00:44:13.920><c> bring</c><00:44:14.179><c> these</c><00:44:14.579><c> judgments</c><00:44:14.960><c> upon</c><00:44:15.440><c> the</c><00:44:15.699><c> sons</c><00:44:16.019><c> of</c><00:44:16.340><c> Belial.</c>

00:44:18.219 --> 00:44:20.440
They<00:44:18.400><c> shall</c><00:44:18.599><c> be</c><00:44:18.860><c> utterly</c><00:44:19.260><c> burned</c><00:44:19.599><c> with</c><00:44:19.900><c> fire.</c>

00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:24.940
The<00:44:21.039><c> symbol</c><00:44:21.320><c> of</c><00:44:21.559><c> divine</c><00:44:21.860><c> judgment</c><00:44:22.320><c> in</c><00:44:23.320><c> the</c><00:44:23.559><c> same</c><00:44:23.880><c> place.</c>

00:44:25.099 --> 00:44:27.920
Now<00:44:25.260><c> it's</c><00:44:25.300><c> very</c><00:44:25.559><c> interesting</c><00:44:25.940><c> when</c><00:44:26.099><c> you</c><00:44:26.300><c> think</c><00:44:26.519><c> about</c><00:44:26.800><c> this.</c>

00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:33.320
When<00:44:30.360><c> the</c><00:44:30.559><c> Romans</c><00:44:30.820><c> came</c><00:44:31.139><c> in</c><00:44:31.380><c> AD</c><00:44:31.659><c> 70,</c><00:44:32.159><c> they</c><00:44:32.480><c> burnt</c><00:44:32.719><c> the</c><00:44:33.019><c> temple</c>

00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:35.179
with<00:44:34.659><c> fire.</c>

00:44:35.579 --> 00:44:38.860
So<00:44:35.920><c> intense</c><00:44:36.260><c> was</c><00:44:36.480><c> the</c><00:44:36.639><c> heat</c><00:44:36.760><c> that</c><00:44:36.940><c> the</c><00:44:37.139><c> gold</c><00:44:37.400><c> melted</c><00:44:37.800><c> and</c><00:44:38.639><c> ran</c>

00:44:38.860 --> 00:44:40.500
down<00:44:39.179><c> through</c><00:44:39.400><c> the</c><00:44:39.659><c> stones.</c>

00:44:40.820 --> 00:44:42.320
The<00:44:41.199><c> fishes</c><00:44:41.440><c> of</c><00:44:41.659><c> the</c><00:44:41.900><c> stones.</c>

00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:46.280
They<00:44:43.019><c> dismantled</c><00:44:43.559><c> it,</c><00:44:44.380><c> stone</c><00:44:44.619><c> by</c><00:44:44.920><c> stone.</c>

00:44:46.500 --> 00:44:48.679
So<00:44:46.579><c> that</c><00:44:46.719><c> not</c><00:44:46.940><c> one</c><00:44:47.219><c> stone</c><00:44:47.539><c> stood</c><00:44:47.760><c> upon</c><00:44:48.039><c> another.</c>

00:44:49.179 --> 00:44:51.760
Except<00:44:49.440><c> of</c><00:44:49.639><c> course</c><00:44:49.820><c> the</c><00:44:50.000><c> foundations</c><00:44:50.539><c> of</c><00:44:50.820><c> Solomon,</c><00:44:51.559><c> which</c><00:44:51.719><c> is</c>

00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:53.179
still<00:44:51.960><c> there</c><00:44:52.139><c> today.</c>

00:44:53.500 --> 00:44:54.280
Alright.

00:44:55.199 --> 00:45:00.179
So<00:44:55.760><c> the</c><00:44:56.320><c> fire</c><00:44:56.639><c> was</c><00:44:56.940><c> so</c><00:44:57.260><c> intense</c><00:44:57.840><c> that</c><00:44:58.739><c> even</c><00:44:59.000><c> gold</c><00:44:59.300><c> melted.</c>

00:45:01.460 --> 00:45:03.280
So<00:45:01.659><c> then</c><00:45:01.840><c> brothers</c><00:45:02.059><c> and</c><00:45:02.280><c> sisters,</c><00:45:02.440><c> think</c><00:45:02.659><c> about</c><00:45:02.940><c> this.</c>

00:45:03.619 --> 00:45:05.559
What<00:45:03.800><c> place</c><00:45:04.039><c> was</c><00:45:04.199><c> that?</c><00:45:04.420><c> Well</c><00:45:04.519><c> it's</c><00:45:04.639><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:45:06.179 --> 00:45:10.559
The<00:45:06.420><c> fate</c><00:45:06.719><c> of</c><00:45:07.340><c> Gog,</c><00:45:07.719><c> at</c><00:45:07.900><c> least,</c><00:45:08.400><c> if</c><00:45:08.559><c> not</c><00:45:08.820><c> Magog,</c><00:45:09.280><c> Magog</c><00:45:09.659><c> of</c><00:45:09.800><c> course</c><00:45:10.019><c> will</c><00:45:10.199><c> have</c><00:45:10.340><c> a</c>

00:45:16.980 --> 00:45:19.300
Well,<00:45:17.599><c> we</c><00:45:17.679><c> read</c><00:45:17.800><c> of</c><00:45:18.119><c> fire</c><00:45:18.420><c> and</c><00:45:18.599><c> brimstone.</c>

Ezekiel<00:45:19.940><c> 38,</c><00:45:20.639><c> 22.</c>

00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:22.739
Where's<00:45:21.840><c> that?</c>

00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:24.940
Outside<00:45:23.460><c> the</c><00:45:23.659><c> walls</c><00:45:23.780><c> of</c><00:45:23.980><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:45:38.659 --> 00:45:40.800
And<00:45:39.079><c> at</c><00:45:39.280><c> the</c><00:45:39.320><c> end</c><00:45:39.460><c> of</c><00:45:39.519><c> the</c><00:45:39.599><c> millennium,</c><00:45:40.340><c> there's</c><00:45:40.460><c> going</c><00:45:40.579><c> to</c><00:45:40.679><c> be</c>

00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:43.659
a<00:45:41.000><c> rebellion</c><00:45:41.400><c> of</c><00:45:41.780><c> the</c><00:45:41.900><c> majority</c><00:45:42.400><c> of</c><00:45:42.659><c> mankind.</c>

00:45:43.739 --> 00:45:45.260
Did<00:45:43.860><c> you</c><00:45:43.880><c> hear</c><00:45:43.960><c> what</c><00:45:44.139><c> I</c><00:45:44.260><c> said?</c>

00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:48.719
Of<00:45:47.019><c> the</c><00:45:47.179><c> majority</c><00:45:47.840><c> of</c><00:45:48.219><c> mankind.</c>

00:45:48.860 --> 00:45:50.380
How<00:45:49.019><c> do</c><00:45:49.139><c> I</c><00:45:49.139><c> know</c><00:45:49.320><c> that?</c>

00:45:51.059 --> 00:45:53.719
Because<00:45:51.300><c> it</c><00:45:51.539><c> says</c><00:45:51.639><c> in</c><00:45:51.820><c> Revelation</c><00:45:52.199><c> 20,</c><00:45:52.659><c> we</c><00:45:52.760><c> shall</c><00:45:52.900><c> see</c><00:45:53.079><c> tomorrow,</c><00:45:53.539><c> that</c>

00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:57.599
their<00:45:53.920><c> number</c><00:45:54.260><c> is</c><00:45:54.539><c> as</c><00:45:54.719><c> the</c><00:45:55.000><c> sand</c><00:45:55.300><c> upon</c><00:45:55.579><c> the</c><00:45:55.880><c> seashore</c><00:45:56.340><c> in</c><00:45:56.539><c> multitude.</c>

00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:01.219
That's<00:45:58.800><c> the</c><00:45:58.940><c> language</c><00:45:59.159><c> used</c><00:45:59.420><c> of</c><00:45:59.559><c> the</c><00:45:59.760><c> Abrahamic</c><00:46:00.199><c> promises.</c>

00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:07.579
So<00:46:03.179><c> the</c><00:46:03.300><c> majority</c><00:46:03.960><c> of</c><00:46:04.300><c> mankind</c><00:46:04.820><c> will</c><00:46:06.199><c> revolt</c><00:46:06.659><c> against</c><00:46:07.219><c> Christ</c>

So<00:46:09.659><c> where</c><00:46:09.820><c> will</c><00:46:09.940><c> they</c><00:46:10.099><c> be</c><00:46:10.280><c> destroyed?</c>

00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:15.039
Well,<00:46:12.300><c> they</c><00:46:12.400><c> come</c><00:46:12.539><c> up</c><00:46:12.719><c> against</c><00:46:13.579><c> the</c><00:46:13.940><c> holy</c><00:46:14.159><c> city.</c>

00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:18.719
They<00:46:15.940><c> come</c><00:46:16.119><c> against</c><00:46:16.480><c> Jerusalem</c><00:46:16.900><c> to</c><00:46:17.199><c> overthrow</c><00:46:17.480><c> the</c><00:46:17.699><c> rulership</c><00:46:18.099><c> of</c><00:46:18.260><c> Christ</c><00:46:18.539><c> and</c>

00:46:18.719 --> 00:46:19.800
the<00:46:18.860><c> saints.</c>

00:46:20.380 --> 00:46:23.440

00:46:23.460 --> 00:46:28.300
Fire<00:46:24.039><c> came</c><00:46:24.400><c> down</c><00:46:24.679><c> from</c><00:46:24.920><c> heaven</c><00:46:25.500><c> and</c><00:46:27.360><c> consumed</c><00:46:27.739><c> them.</c>

00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:29.400
What<00:46:28.579><c> place</c><00:46:28.699><c> is</c><00:46:28.900><c> that?</c>

00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:32.519
In<00:46:30.039><c> the</c><00:46:30.219><c> same</c><00:46:30.800><c> place.</c>

00:46:34.539 --> 00:46:38.139
You<00:46:34.559><c> see,</c><00:46:34.840><c> there's</c><00:46:35.000><c> a</c><00:46:35.099><c> wonderful</c><00:46:35.500><c> harmony</c><00:46:36.019><c> in</c><00:46:37.199><c> the</c><00:46:37.380><c> way</c><00:46:37.739><c> that</c>

00:46:38.139 --> 00:46:40.440
David<00:46:38.340><c> understood</c><00:46:38.960><c> these</c><00:46:39.239><c> things.</c>

00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:43.719
And<00:46:41.400><c> the</c><00:46:41.559><c> hope</c><00:46:41.699><c> that</c><00:46:41.900><c> he</c><00:46:42.079><c> had.</c>

00:46:43.780 --> 00:46:46.280
Yahweh's<00:46:44.059><c> furnace</c><00:46:44.260><c> is</c><00:46:44.539><c> in</c><00:46:44.760><c> Zion,</c><00:46:45.019><c> brothers</c><00:46:45.159><c> and</c><00:46:45.400><c> sisters.</c>

00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:51.960
This<00:46:46.820><c> word,</c><00:46:47.380><c> same</c><00:46:47.800><c> place,</c><00:46:48.679><c> you</c><00:46:48.820><c> see</c><00:46:48.900><c> there</c><00:46:49.059><c> at</c><00:46:49.239><c> the</c><00:46:49.380><c> end</c><00:46:49.780><c> of</c><00:46:50.019><c> verse</c><00:46:50.599><c> 7.</c>

In<00:47:09.059><c> other</c><00:47:09.280><c> words,</c><00:47:09.760><c> confident</c><00:47:10.019><c> in</c><00:47:10.239><c> their</c><00:47:10.420><c> position.</c>

00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:16.119
So<00:47:11.280><c> Gog</c><00:47:11.699><c> sets</c><00:47:12.079><c> his</c><00:47:12.440><c> tent</c><00:47:12.699><c> in</c><00:47:13.420><c> my</c><00:47:13.699><c> glorious</c><00:47:14.199><c> holy</c><00:47:14.539><c> mountain,</c><00:47:15.059><c> says</c><00:47:15.179><c> Yahweh,</c><00:47:16.019><c> in</c>

00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:17.239
Daniel<00:47:16.420><c> chapter</c><00:47:16.760><c> 11.</c>

00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:18.739
But<00:47:17.739><c> he's</c><00:47:17.940><c> brought</c><00:47:18.139><c> to</c><00:47:18.360><c> his</c><00:47:18.559><c> end.</c>

00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:20.340
He's<00:47:19.440><c> confident</c><00:47:19.760><c> that</c><00:47:19.940><c> he's</c><00:47:20.159><c> won.</c>

00:47:20.340 --> 00:47:22.760
He's<00:47:20.739><c> beaten</c><00:47:21.019><c> the</c><00:47:21.199><c> Israeli</c><00:47:21.619><c> army.</c>

00:47:23.699 --> 00:47:27.019
He's<00:47:24.019><c> beaten</c><00:47:24.260><c> the</c><00:47:24.460><c> Western</c><00:47:24.800><c> powers,</c><00:47:25.239><c> the</c><00:47:25.420><c> Tarshish</c><00:47:25.820><c> powers.</c>

00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:30.440
But<00:47:28.300><c> then</c><00:47:28.539><c> Christ</c><00:47:28.800><c> and</c><00:47:28.960><c> the</c><00:47:29.099><c> saints</c><00:47:29.260><c> arrive.</c>

00:47:31.019 --> 00:47:32.960
And<00:47:31.539><c> it's</c><00:47:31.699><c> all</c><00:47:31.960><c> over.</c>

00:47:34.099 --> 00:47:35.260
Okay,<00:47:34.360><c> so</c><00:47:34.639><c> they're</c><00:47:34.900><c> confident.</c>

00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:40.280
But<00:47:35.860><c> anyway,</c><00:47:36.179><c> the</c><00:47:36.340><c> AV</c><00:47:36.519><c> is</c><00:47:36.760><c> quite</c><00:47:37.019><c> acceptable</c><00:47:37.559><c> in</c><00:47:38.719><c> the</c><00:47:38.960><c> same</c><00:47:39.239><c> place.</c>

00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:52.599
And<00:47:47.940><c> that's</c><00:47:48.239><c> as</c><00:47:48.320><c> we</c><00:47:48.519><c> said,</c><00:47:49.360><c> is</c><00:47:49.480><c> where</c><00:47:49.900><c> the</c><00:47:50.139><c> wicked</c><00:47:50.400><c> will</c><00:47:50.820><c> be</c><00:47:50.960><c> destroyed</c><00:47:51.500><c> at</c>
